Tips from the Community
+++New Opening Hours from August 1, 2025+++ The sculpture garden in Plinz was created by the artist Jochen Bach starting in the mid-1990s. He moved to Plinz in 1972 with his wife Gisa, both young architects at the time, and transformed it into a very special place. He exhibited and sold his paintings in the former mill. Sadly, he passed away at the end of 2022 after a full and fulfilling life of 80. I, his daughter, have now returned home and continue to run the gallery, selling and exhibiting his paintings as well as my own. We maintain and preserve the sculpture garden using private funds and would like to continue sharing it with people who come to Plinz seeking peace and inspiration. Since this is quite a time-consuming undertaking, we will be limiting access to two days a week starting August 1, 2025: Saturday & Sunday 🪴 Garden open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. 🖼 Gallery open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Outside these hours, visits are only possible by prior arrangement. Admission remains free, however, we kindly request a small donation to help maintain the garden. Information at https://plinz.de Warm regards from Plinz, Philine Bach

Transfer to the right. Exit is great, but re-entry is a bit more challenging.
