The Osthaus Museum is the cultural heart of Hagen's modernist movement and inextricably linked to the name of Karl Ernst Osthaus. This visionary patron of the arts transformed Hagen into a center of avant-garde art at the beginning of the 20th century – long before metropolises like Berlin or Munich assumed this role. Today's museum is housed in the historic Folkwang Museum building, which Osthaus opened in 1902. The building combines Art Nouveau elements with a clear, modern spatial design and is still considered a milestone in museum architecture. It once showcased works by van Gogh, Cézanne, and Matisse – a revolutionary program for an industrial city in the Ruhr region. After Osthaus's death, the collection was moved to Essen, but the building remained as a museum. Today, the Osthaus Museum presents a diverse program of modern and contemporary art, photography, and design. https://www.osthausmuseum.de/web/de/keom/index.html

The Fritz Steinhoff Monument commemorates one of Hagen's most important politicians. Steinhoff, long-serving mayor and later Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia, played a crucial role in the city's reconstruction after the Second World War. The monument depicts him in a calm, upright posture – not as a heroic statesman, but as a people-oriented democrat who stood for social justice and the rebuilding of an open society. The simple design underscores precisely this: Steinhoff is not presented as a monumental figure, but as a person who took responsibility and inspired trust. Today, the monument serves as a quiet memorial, a reminder of political integrity, courage, and the value of democratic engagement – and of how strongly a city is shaped by the people who dedicate themselves to it. https://folkwang.li/2019/01/23/walter-gruentgens-fritz-steinhoff-denkmal/

Almost half of the river flows through Hagen – a hiking visit to the city is not complete without a visit to the Volme.

Great photo opportunity, very well-kept appearance, facade partly covered in green vines, which looks very beautiful in autumn when the foliage changes. Great photo hotspot in a lively, vibrant city.

A very inspiring place. You can now linger next door in the Café Pottblümchen
