Berlin - Brücke Museum

The low modern building of the Brücke Museum in the Grunewald of Berlin's Zehlendorf district was built in 1967 by Werner Düttmann, architect of the Academy of Arts in the Tiergarten, as a gallery and archive for the works of the group of Expressionist painters founded in Dresden in 1905 and known as "Die Brücke" ("The Bridge"). The initiative for the establishment of the museum came from the Berlin artist Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, one of the founders of the group, who presented a large number of his works.
