Refurbishment of the residence and
work rooms on the 1st floor

Update May 2025

In August 2024, the renovation work in the future residence area began with securing work to preserve artefacts from the construction period, such as the built-in shelving wall from Mary Wigman's time. The next step was to remove all the wallpaper and old paintwork from the walls and ceilings. In addition, an extensive restoration was carried out on the colour features with rare silver and gold tones in a monochrome interior design, which impressively testify to Mary Wigman's creative will. The aim of the restoration work is to bring this back to life.

In March 2025, the windows in this area were replaced according to the original design. On the one hand, the structure of the window design of the 19th century villa was followed and, on the other, the window formats changed by Mary Wigman. These windows therefore already form a reference for the future comprehensive renovation of the windows of the entire villa building next year.
