Tourist Information Mühlhausen/Thüringen

January 11, 2024

The facade artist Marco Brzozowski has designed a 500 square meter house gable as a total work of art, depicting 21 episodes from Mühlhausen's city history.

The large picture fascinates with its pronounced plasticity. The entire wall shows a castle, light and shadow allow towers, corridors, balconies and arches to emerge or recede. The people depicted are all larger than life. Their body height ranges from two and a half to four meters. When it comes to historical figures of whom old depictions are known, Marco Brzozowski has stuck to the originals. You can see, among others, Thomas Müntzer and Johann Sebastian Bach, who worked in Mühlhausen, as well as Johann August Röbling, who was born in Mühlhausen in 1806. Various kings and princes who played a role in the city's development are also depicted. From the first documented mention in 967, the images extend through the Thirty Years' War, the plague epidemic in 1682 and the liberation by American troops in 1945 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. A board has been set up for the viewer a few meters away from the work of art, with which the partial images are explained .

Another work by the artist is on a house gable on the Unstrut and shows various sights in the city.
