Atelierhaus

Atelierhaus in Düsseldorf presents a protected architectural landmark shaped by the city’s artistic history. Architect Hans Junghanns designed the building in Düsseldorf. Construction took place between 1936 and 1937, following regional principles of Heimatschutzarchitektur. Its whitewashed brick walls form a distinctive U-shaped building. The building served young, unmarried painters and sculptors, combining studios, galleries, kitchens, and an exhibition room. Large studio windows face north and east. Each gallery stands above auxiliary rooms and a kitchen within the working spaces. A courtyard water basin holds Robert Ittermann’s sculpture Große Venus. The Atelierhaus forms part of Düsseldorf’s Künstlersiedlung artist settlement. That settlement emerged alongside the Reichsausstellung Schaffendes Volk and the development of today’s Nordpark. Artists including Joseph Pieper, Hermann Gockel, and Fritz Peretti lived and worked here. The tiled hipped roof completes the building’s regional appearance. Düsseldorf listed Atelierhaus as a monument in 2014, recognising its architectural and cultural significance. Its rooms connect artistic work, domestic functions, and public display within one compact structure.
