Hermannshof Völksen

The Hermannshof

Leisure and Inspiration in a Historic Landmark

The Hermannshof is a former summer residence of the industrialist Hermann Rexhausen dating from the 1920s. The aura of a free spirit and art lover, where leisure resides (and the muse is never far away), still lingers today over this beautiful park nestled between the village edge and the open fields. What is the secret of this place, where one is invited to pause, to exchange ideas, to reflect, to dream, to let things mature, to experiment, to step back, and to focus?

Since 2002, the "Kunst und Begegnung" association has been creating contemporary art—with young and old, with clubs and schools, for villagers and city dwellers. The venue is a restored, naturally overgrown historic garden featuring a tea pavilion, a landscape garden, an orchard, and quarries. It was designed in 1920 by the Worpswede architect and sculptor Bernhard Hoetger. Today, the Hermannshof Völksen is a cultural monument of Lower Saxony.

The Hermannshof promises sensual pleasure and spiritual joy. Here, you’ll encounter art, artists, friends, and strangers—and, last but not least, yourself.
