Barkenhoff Bremen & The East Frisian Coast

The creative heart of the Worpswede artists colony was this half-timbered home remodelled in the art nouveau style by its owner, painter and designer Heinrich Vogeler. Today it houses the Heinrich-Vogeler-Museum, with exhibitions of his paintings and murals and even some furniture he designed; there's some English signage throughout. It's about a 10-minute walk from the tourist office via pleasant forest trails.
