Liebermann's Garden
Berlin-Wannsee
"In 1909, Max Liebermann had a summer residence built on Lake Wannsee, which he proudly called his “lakeside
palace”. It was here, away from the commotion of city life, that he found much-needed tranquillity and the principal subject matter for his late work. (...)
Max Liebermann designed his garden with the help of the Hamburger Kunsthalle director Alfred Lichtwark. Today, the garden has been reconstructed according to their plans. Special attractions here include rare and historical plants, such as the Mexican sunflower, and the vegetable garden where cabbage, beans and tomatoes are grown, as was commonplace in Liebermann’s day. The combination of vegetable and perennial garden, characteristic of Liebermann’s garden design concept, particularly fascinates visitors today, while the colours and diversity created stimulate the senses and inspire the mind in their magnificence and beauty."
