Kunstkaten Ahrenshoop

You can get to the beach here and the house has a beautiful Darßer door.

The Ahrenshoop Kunstkaten was officially opened on July 11, 1909. For the Ahrenshoop painters' colony and for the Baltic Sea resort of Ahrenshoop, this was a significant event that corresponded to the desire of artists and art lovers to establish a meeting place between artists and buyers beyond the commercial art trade.
In 1918 the exhibition in the Kunstkaten was closed; Most of the artists in the painters' colony had given up Ahrenshoop or had died.
On August 18, 1946, for the first time in three decades, Ahrenshoop and Fischland artists were able to work in the Kunstkaten - which the "Culture Association for the Democratic Renewal of Germany" had leased. Countless exhibitions and events followed, and the original purpose of the Kunstkaten, to be a meeting place between artists and the public, was once again fulfilled.

At the boundary of the Kunstkaten property is a memorial stone by Gerhard Marks for the painter Alfred particles, who did not return from a walk in the Ahrenshooper wood in August 1945 and has disappeared.
