Otto-Dix-House

When Otto Dix (1891–1969) lost his professorship at the Dresden Academy of Arts as a result of the National Socialist rise to power in 1933, he and his family resettled in Randegg (Hegau) on Lake Constance. In 1936 he moved into a house that the Dresden architect Arno Schelcher had designed for him on the Hoeri in Hemmenhofen. In this southern-facing building, where Dix lived until his death, he produced a large part of his artistic oeuvre. On the occasion of his hundredth birthday 1991, Dix’s former residence and studio was opened to the public. In order to preserve the building for the future, the »Foundation Otto-Dix-House e.V.« aquired it on 30 June 2010. After the redevelopment of the historical monument the operation of the Otto-Dix-Haus memorial will be taken over by the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart.
