Max Klinger (February 18, 1857–July 4, 1920), the famous Leipzig graphic artist, painter and sculptor, acquired a vineyard with the associated vineyard house in Großjena in 1903. Together with his then partner, the writer Elsa Asenijeff, he spent many happy days on the vineyard. In the years between 1903 and 1920 numerous etchings and a large number of drawings, watercolors and oil paintings were created here. From 1909 he had the upper vineyard house converted into a comfortable residential building. In 1910 he met the 17-year-old Gertrud Bock (1893-1932) who, together with her sister Ella, posed for him. After a stroke in 1919, Klinger moved his main residence to Großjena and married Gertrud Bock, with whom he had lived for several years. On July 4, 1920, Klinger died on the “Klingerberg”, where he found his final resting place. The permanent exhibition in the Klinger House provides a comprehensive insight into the artist's life and work. The highlights of the exhibition are the two large tiled stoves, which were designed and formed by Klinger himself.

Max Klinger (born February 18, 1857 in Leipzig, † July 4, 1920 in Großjena) was a German sculptor, painter and graphic artist and also a medalist. His work is primarily to be assigned to symbolism.

On February 18, 1857, Max Klinger was born as the second son of the soap and perfume manufacturer Heinrich Louis Klinger (1816-1896) and his wife Auguste Friederike Eleonore Klinger nee Richter in Leipzig at 48 Petersstrasse. First he attended the Citizens' School in Leipzig from 1863 to 1867 and the Brauer drawing school on Sunday. Then he was in the Realschule (later Petri School) until 1873.

In 1874 the Dresden architect and art historian Franz Richard Steche recommended Klinger to the well-known painter Anton von Werner in Berlin, who rejected him and referred him to the painter Karl Gussow in Karlsruhe. In April Klinger began studying at the Grand Ducal Baden Art School in Karlsruhe near Gussow and the history and portrait painter Ludwig Des Coudres. During this time he was also known as a piano player in Karlsruhe. He continued his training in 1875 at the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin with Karl Gussow, who had been appointed there by Anton von Werner. At this time, his artistic role model was Adolph Menzel in particular; in addition, he dealt with the teaching of Charles Darwin. In 1876 he completed his training with the title "Extraordinary" and the Silver Medal. In 1877 he served as a one-year volunteer in an infantry regiment.
