Building description and history
The plastered house with a mansard roof was built in 1906 in the west of the village. A former studio is located on the same property.
The house was built in 1906 by the artist Professor Hans Nadler , who became known as a painter , after he had acquired a piece of land in the town of Elsterwerda , about ten kilometers southeast of his birthplace . The father of the monument conservator of the same name , who is responsible for the preservation of numerous cultural and historical monuments in Dresden and Saxony, lived and worked here in the subsequent period of his artistic work. In the same year he married his wife Elfriede (née Weise). There was another apartment in Dresden, where Nadler also worked.
When building the house, Nadler had considered aligning it to the surrounding area through style and location, adapting it to climatic requirements and natural incidence of light. A specially planted row of trees provided shelter from the wind. The interior of Nadler's house in Val Gardena is described by a sympathizer of the artist, who was allowed to visit the house and the associated studio a short time after its creation in 1907, in his essay "The artist's home in Val Gardena" published in the local history series "Die Schwarze Elster" as "Simple, but very effective, with all its simplicity a lot of beauty!"
In the quiet and seclusion of the small Schraden community, numerous works and designs were created away from the hustle and bustle of the city, because Nadler also worked as a sgraffito artist. A large part of it shows the people and the landscape of this small area in the south of today's Brandenburg. Nadler's models were residents of the village or students of the artist. He also invited talented students to his studio in Val Gardena. Some of his pictures show the immediate surroundings in front of his house. Numerous photographs of his work in the studio were published in the 1999 catalog "Hans Nadler 1879–1958". Some works and photos can also be found in the small gallery "Hans Nadler" in Elsterwerda.
Hans Nadler, who finally moved to Val Gardena in 1918 and who in the same year was given by the Saxon King Friedrich August III. the title of professor was awarded, died in 1958 in Val Gardena.
