Artist Residency
The Location
The house on Inselstraße on Schwanenwerder can be reached from the S-Bahn stop Nikolassee by a 20-minute walk through the Grunewald forest. The route leads past the famous Strandbad Wannsee (Wannsee beach).
A monthly public transportation ticket from Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) will be provided, and there is a bicycle for artists to use if they wish. The house offers a private car park which artists may use to park their car free of charge. Nikolassee offers good shopping facilities.
The house was built in 1935. It has recently been gutted and remodelled so that large working areas with an open kitchen were created. Artists who would like to work outside can enjoy wonderful views of the Havel river. The conservatory and storage rooms may also be used.
