"If you come into Berlin, it's right on the left" – this is how Max Liebermann described the way to his house on Pariser Platz to guests. Completely destroyed in the Second World War, the Max Liebermann Haus was rebuilt in the 1990s and today houses the Stiftung Brandenburger Tor. With its documentation Liebermanns Welt, the Stiftung Brandenburger Tor now commemorates the eventful life of Max Liebermann (1847-1935) and his family.
Initially denounced as a "painter of the ugly" and "painter of the poor," Max Liebermann became the most successful representative and supporter of modern art in Germany around 1900. Founding member of the Berlin Secession, President of the Berlin Academy of Arts, portraitist of the bourgeois elite of the German Empire and the Weimar Republic – the documentation Liebermanns Welt looks back at the highlights of Max Liebermann's life. The Stiftung Brandenburger Tor also commemorates the tragic fate of the Liebermann family after the Nazis seized power.
The documentation is continuously updated.](en)
