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.
