The current artists' residence was built in 1889; it was designed by the renowned Hamburg architect Martin Haller. Roger Willemsen acquired it in the summer of 2015 and saw it as an ideal place for inspired and creative work. The house has been a listed building since 2019. The idea of preserving the villa as an artists' residence in his name arose among friends just days before Roger Willemsen's death. Roger Willemsen was deeply moved by the initiative and gave his consent. His friend Nikolaus Gelpke, with the mareverlag publishing house, made the project possible by establishing the Roger Willemsen Foundation. Light-filled work and living areas, an event space, as well as Roger Willemsen's personal library, his music collection, and the preserved furnishings make the artists' residence a special place. Heartfelt thanks are extended to the heirs for their loans. The Roger Willemsen Foundation maintains and preserves the artists' residence as a place of inspiration, creative work, and cultural exchange. In keeping with the spirit of its namesake, the foundation supports exceptional talents and bold artistic projects. Founded by mareverlag and its publisher Nikolaus Gelpke, the foundation awards scholarships to artists in the fields of visual arts, composition and music, literature, film, and performance, and enables scholarship recipients to undertake project residencies at the artists' residence in Wentorf near Hamburg. https://rwstiftung.de/

Some loose sand and stones. Hold on tight to the handlebars ;-) But there are curious cows and not much going on when the sun isn't shining.

To the left and right of the path it is partly better, for me still a nice trail ... at least for the MTB 😉
