Art in the "Blauen Land"

Murnau became world famous through the Russian painter "Wassily Kandinsky", who lived together with "Gabriele Münter" in today's "Münter Haus" from 1909 to 1914. The famous museum was also the founding site of the expressionist artists' association "Blauer Reiter," as "Gabriele Münter", "Wassily Kandinsky" and "Franz Marc" called themselves after they settled in Murnau and Kochel. Inspired by the diverse landscape, numerous works of art that became famous were created here. Ödön von Horváth and "Emanuel von Seidl2" were also not unimpressed by the unique area around Murnau. And so it is today. Throughout the hotel grounds, whether in the garden, the lobby or on the way to your room, here we have created places for artists of the region.

The ibex with its strength and audacity is a symbol of the originality of our Alps.

Pegasus

by Stefanie Speermann

He embodies the idea of unbridled freedom of thought. My art wants to awaken the longing for this freedom. Pegasus is for this luminous image metaphor. In 2008, the first large 3-dimensional designs to "Pegasus" were created.

Curlew

by Stefanie Speermann

The big curlew as emblem of the Alpenhof Murnau, communicates at the same time the nature worth protecting in the "Murnauer Moos", our affiliation to the region and our own closeness to nature.

Taurus

by Stefanie Speermann

The artist's powerful, life-size bull sculpture is the antithesis of her PEGASUS sculpture. TAURUS and PEGASUS are metaphors for power and freedom in nature and myth - as constellations, both also shine in the night sky.
