In the heart of the Blue Land, Der Blaue Reiter ("The Blue Rider") was founded in 1911 as an artist group of Classical Modernism by Franz Marc and Wassily Kandinsky. In Murnau, the Münter House on Kottmüllerallee continues to enchant art lovers from all over the world. Gabriele Münter acquired the house in 1909 at the request of her teacher and companion, Wassily Kandinsky. Together with friends such as Alexej von Jawlensky, Marianne von Werefkin, August Macke, and Heinrich Campendonk, they found inspiration here for entirely new forms of artistic expression. Gabriele Münter left behind numerous traces, which you will discover during this themed tour.
