Art weaving school Scherrebek

Otto Eckmann: Five Swans , 1897

From 1896 to 1905 Scherrebek was the seat of an art weaving school, which became known under the German name of the place as Scherrebeker Kunstwebschule . When it was founded by the local chaplain Johannes Jacobsen , it was intended to teach Danish women, under German management, not only the art of knitting , but above all the German language. The school grew beyond this narrowly nationalistic objective when the founder and director of the Hamburg Museum of Art and Industry , the lawyer Justus Brinckmann , was able to recruit artists such as Otto Eckmann , Walter Leistikow , Heinrich Vogeler and Hans Christiansen as employees for the Scherrebeker facility. The most productive artist was Gadso Weiland with 26 designs implemented as tapestries . The tapestries and hangings produced at the art weaving school not only followed the Art Nouveau and reflected it, but also shaped it. After a short flowering, the web school went bankrupt in 1905 due to internal disputes .

The largest collection of Scherrebeker picture knitting can be found in the Flensburg Museum Museumsberg .
