With PrintTraces on the Böckstiegel Path: Discover Art While Walking

This art walk combines the observation of works, landscape experience, and museum education practices into a unique art experience. On April 19, 2026, the event will lead from the chapel at the Werther cemetery to the Peter August Böckstiegel Museum and further to the historic artist house – accompanied by a practical printing workshop in cooperation with the VHS Lippe-West. The Böckstiegel Path unveils the Westphalian Expressionist Peter August Böckstiegel in his familiar surroundings and makes visible how closely art, origin, and place are intertwined.

On the Way Through Images, Fields, and Spaces of Memory

The approximately 2.5-kilometer guided walk offers an aesthetic experience between nature, biography, and art history. Werther is not just a backdrop here but a vibrant resonant space: paths, sightlines, and stations refer to motifs that Böckstiegel repeatedly explored in painting, print graphics, and drawing. The walk through the landscape deepens the understanding of expressionist imagery, colour sounds, form condensation, and the poetic power of the everyday.

The Historic Artist House as an Authentic Place

At the Peter August Böckstiegel Museum and the artist house, visitors encounter a place where art and life have remained inseparable. The museum preserves and conveys the artist's work broadly: paintings, watercolors, drawings, print graphics, mosaics, stained glass, sculptures, reliefs, and crafted furniture form a multifaceted oeuvre. The artist house is only accessible as part of a guided tour, which thus conveys a particularly dense exhibition atmosphere. ([museumpab.de](https://www.museumpab.de/?utm_source=openai))

Your Own Printing Tracks in Dialogue with Art

The practical part of the event connects observation and creation. Inspired by the surroundings and the impressions of the path, personal print works will emerge. This makes museum education tangible in the best sense: seeing, understanding, and artistic doing interweave. Exactly therein lies the strength of this format for art enthusiasts, families, and culture-loving guests who want not only to look but to create themselves.
