    Hiking

    For those interested in culture, the name of the (perhaps most famous) Eifel painter Fritz von Wille, whose place of work or domicile was Kerpen Castle for some time, is an attraction - and perhaps also the invitation to take another look at his work.

    Fritz von Wille was a landscape painter from the Düsseldorf School of Painting. Before the First World War he made a name for himself in the Rhineland as "Painter of the Eifel". He was born on April 21, 1860 in Weimar and died on February 16, 1941 in Düsseldorf. From 1911 to 1941 he was lord of Kerpen Castle.

    No other painter succeeded in capturing the character of the Eifel landscape as sensitively as Fritz von Wille (1860-1941). museumsportal-rlp.de
