In the Footsteps of Peter August Böckstiegel: A Tour Through Landscape, Art, and Home
On June 21, 2026, this special city and cultural tour will lead along the Böckstiegel Path in the area of Werther near Bielefeld. Between the Peter August Böckstiegel Museum, the Artists' House, the cemetery, and selected stations, a vibrant discovery experience unfolds between local history, Westphalian cultural landscape, and Expressionist art.
A Path that Breathes Art History
The Böckstiegel Path connects places that were formative for the life and work of the artist Peter August Böckstiegel. Along Schlossstraße, red stelae mark the spots where landscape, rural environment, and artistic memory intertwine. The tour makes visible how closely Böckstiegel remained connected to his homeland and how his motifs developed from the surroundings.
Between Stations, Views, and Cultural Heritage
The tour follows the traces of an artist who transformed the Westphalian landscape through painting, drawing, graphic arts, and sculptural works. Participants experience the path not just as a walk but as a cultural historical exploration with views of the Artists' House, the surroundings of Arrode, and the inspiring landscapes around Werther. The path includes 17 stations and was developed as an educational offering for children and young people before it evolved into a popular leisure and cultural offering for families and art enthusiasts.
Authentic Guidance by Experienced Art Educators
With Karola Eisenblätter and Udo Lange, two long-term companions connected to the path are at the center of the tour. The Peter August Böckstiegel Museum points to their role as initiators of the path and the public tour as a fixed part of the educational program. This gives the tour a knowledgeable, local, and credible perspective on Böckstiegel's work, his connection to his homeland, and the development of the museum location.
