Actual and upcoming exhibitions
Art Summer Castle Wertheim – Part 3
Conrad Schierenberg (*1937–†2022) – Paintings
Schierenberg's paintings are rather classical in their themes of landscape, portraiture and still life. Throughout his life, he was able to inspire visitors time and again with his unique painting style, readings of his own poems and his personality. In the 40-minute retrospective “Ich wollte Himmel (mit Zeitzeugen)” (I wanted heaven (with contemporary witnesses)), which can be seen in the exhibition, you can learn a lot about his unusual biography, his love of prose and poetry (he has several publications to his name) and his deep connection to his homeland – the southern Black Forest.
Opening: 15.8.2025 at 11:30 Uhr, Introduction: Ina Nolte, City Wertheim • Duration: 15.8.–21.9. 2025
Open at: Fr., Sa., Su.: 10:00–13:30 and 14:30 bis 18:00.

Art Summer Castle Wertheim – Part 1
Maria Kirchhof – TEMPERARE
Maria Kirchhof's works are classically rendered in egg tempera and follow the principle of medieval chiaroscuro painting. The artist's artistic role models are the works of Rembrandt and Leonardo da Vinci. Many of her works are imbued with spirituality and religion or deal with self-image. In her constant search for the “inner self”, Maria Kirchhof also uses artificial intelligence tools – an exciting, contemporary contrast to her classical approach.
Duration: 27.4.–18.5.2025 • Opening: only invited persons
Open at: Th.–Su. 11:00–13:30 and 14:30–17:00
