Weissenseifen is mainly known as an artists' settlement, which developed from the 1950s. From the 1960s, the activities were strongly influenced by the artist Albrecht Klauer-Simonis. It is mainly painters and sculptors who chose Weißenseifen as a place of work and residence. The Förderkreis Weißenseifen, which is organized in the umbrella organization of the State Working Group for Sociocultural & Cultural Education Rhineland-Palatinate, organizes a symposium every year, for the first time in 1975.

"We have made a fixed point for today. According to information from the network, the Weißenseifen artists' settlement does not offer any overnight quarters, but you never know; but first of all, art appeals to us.
night quarters?
Again after a mere twenty kilometers?
Well, there is another severe weather warning in the room. Thunderstorms with heavy rain are forecast for the approaching afternoon.
On our first day of hiking there were just such warnings; we were fantastically lucky and got involved in the discipline of storm surfing. A shower threatened to get us, but we enjoyed it while it was drying with strawberry intoxication.
Will we have to prove ourselves again today in the discipline of storm surfing?
Jokes aside, this consideration also contributes to recognizing white soaps as a possible daily goal. We are also excited about the magic of the place as a place of art.
The garden with the many different stone sculptures fascinates us at first sight. The Phi, reminiscent of A&O, is impressive as a stone gate. Many sculptures reveal an artistically trained hand, some things carved in stone appear rather simply designed.
All in all a real eye-catcher.
white soaps even then, as if extinct; Café closed, but we know that today is Monday after all. (hm-weissenseifen.de/web/)"

A symposium is held once a year from mid-July to mid-August in the Weißenseifen artists' settlement. It is an art event for artists, professionals and amateurs. In the creatively stimulating grounds of the late artist Albrecht Klauer-Simonis with numerous sand figures, you can work in stone, clay, wood, paper and other materials. Numerous works of art can be viewed here. eifel.de/go/sehenswertes-detail/kuenstlersiedlung_weissenseifen.html
