Is it a boy, is it a man? He seems to have stilts in his hands that help him take to the skies. He points the way to the Prinzhorn collection in a small museum that offers a great wealth of very special pieces of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-44.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-44-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-44-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-44-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-44-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-44.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watercolour paintings, letters, paintings, sculptures, works with fabrics and writings: Some of them are meant to maintain world peace.

In the 1920s, a young Hans Prinzhorn, who was a psychiatrist and an art historian, came to the mental hospital in Heidelberg as an assistant physician. His job was to turn an existing patients\u2019 art collection, which had been used for educational purposes, into a larger collection. He succeeded: He gathered about 5,000 artworks and published the epoch-making book \u2018Bildnerei der Geisteskranken\u2019 (Visual arts of the insane). But dark times were to follow. About 100 pieces were taken by the Nazis and used as part of their travelling exhibition of \u2018degenerate art\u2019. The rest of the Prinzhorn collection was locked away and fell into oblivion after the war. It was later stored in the attic of the hospital\u2019s main building for a long time until it was decided that it would be shown in both national and international exhibitions from 1963. The lecture hall of the neurology department was converted at the beginning of the new millennium. The Prinzhorn collection museum was established there\u2014as part of the hospital for General Psychiatry and this is where it has resided since 2001. And so has the collection\u2019s person in charge, Dr Thomas R\u00f6ske.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking back on his academic career, it seems like all roads\u2014from Hamburg to Frankfurt to London\u2014led out here to \u2018the back of beyond,\u2019 as he affectionately calls the place. As an 18-year-old student, Thomas went to see the then largest travelling exhibition of the Prinzhorn collection in Hamburg. This was at the beginning of the 1980s. The years went by for him studying art history, musicology and psychology and earning a doctorate, while the collection from Heidelberg continued travelling through Europe and growing. Thomas\u2019 doctoral dissertation was about the aesthetics and psychotherapy of Hans Prinzhorn, who paved the way and was eponymous for today\u2019s collection. In 2001, Thomas began work in the newly designed Prinzhorn museum, two days after September 11\u2014a date that would throw the western world into a rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;The work we do here is also meant to make up for what happenedto them-by giving them back their voice.&#8221; <\/p><cite> Thomas R\u00f6ske <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, visitors to the museum are greeted by captivating works right upon entering the foyer, such as the work composed of stacked preserving jars in stacks that extend to the ceiling. If you inspect them from close up, the colourful contents become recognizable: a familiar hotchpotch of everyday items and mementoes like handwritten notes, hair, tablet blister packs, tickets, board game pieces, rolls of film. The composition stands for a year in the artist\u2019s life\u2014preserved in 117 jars. Nicole Guiraud created the work during a depressive episode as \u2018objects for self-salvation\u2019, as Thomas calls it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-39.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-39-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28495\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-39-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-39-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-39-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-39.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Carefully preserved: a year in the life of artist Nicole Guiraud<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climbing up a little staircase, you\u2019ll find rooms with changing exhibitions on display to the right.

It was painted by paperhanger Josef Forster around 1916. The impasto paint-application technique used in the painting makes it look somewhat impressionist, with plenty of room for interpretation. For Thomas, it is one of the dearest pieces of the exhibition\u2014because only by means of the medical file do we know that the self-portrait can be understood as \u2018man without gravity\u2019\u2014one who has to be tethered to the ground by weights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-33.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-33-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-33-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-33-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-33-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-33.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The \u2018Luftg\u00e4nger\u2019 (air walker).

The exhibits do not only fascinate art enthusiasts, doctors and therapists though. Other artists have been inspired by them, too. From Ernst Ludwig Kirchner to Georg Baselitz, artists have reacted to these works, which are often perceived as particularly \u2018pure\u2019 and \u2018original.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-36.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-36-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-36-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-36-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-36-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-36.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the exhibits, like a wall entirely filled with ring binders by Harald Bender, take up lots of space. Hundreds of symbolic drawings exploring the relation between the atom and ovulation rest behind the colourful spines of the binders\u2014arranged neatly and in plastic sleeves. The hand-written letter by Emma Hauck to her husband, on the other hand, invites you to take a closer look. The works are humorous and very moving. Not least because of the context in which they were created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-28.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-28-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-28-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-28-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-28-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-28.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Confusingly neat arrangement, neatly arranged confusion? A work by Harald Bender.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exhibition shows all works without making diagnoses or giving further context. This way, visitors can find their own interpretation. They get to know the artworks on display and, in passing, they also learn about the history of psychiatry in German-speaking countries. Many people were put in lunatic asylums after the turn of the century, whereas well-off patients stayed in sanatoriums. Some made their drawings on toilet paper, the latter could afford oil paint and canvas. The madness of a two-tiered health system\u2014in the permanent display contrasting exhibits are placed opposite each other deliberately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-26.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-26-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-26-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-26-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-26-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-26.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>A work by Elfriede Lohse-W\u00e4chtler.

Wilhelm Werner captures medical crimes from the Nazi period in his pencil drawings from a patient\u2019s perspective. Turning around, a colourful oil painting by Sonja Gerstner will catch your eye. She was in the locked mental ward in East Germany three times. In the end all she could do was \u2018escape into the clouds.\u2019 Her mother, Sybille Gerstner, broke the loud silence about mental illnesses that used to prevail and their treatment behind the Wall with her book with the same title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-23.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-23-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-28463\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-23-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-23-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-23-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Prinzhorn-Julian-Beekmann-Footgrafie-23.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Thomas R\u00f6ske in front of a work by Sonja Gerstner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe patients\u2019 fates and how some of these people were treated, outrage me,\u201d Thomas explains. \u201cThe work we do here is also meant to make up for what happened to them\u2014by giving them back their voice.\u201d The museum director and his team find appreciation most important.
