Mural "The history of Mühlhausen/Thuringia"
The façade artist Marco Brzozowski has designed a 500 square meter house gable as a complete work of art, on which 21 episodes from the history of Mühlhausen are depicted.
The large picture fascinates with its pronounced plasticity. The entire wall shows a castle, with light and shadow making towers, corridors, balconies and arches stand out or recede. The people depicted are all larger than life. Their height ranges from two and a half to four meters. Marco Brzozowski has stuck to the originals where historical figures are concerned, of whom old depictions are known. Among those depicted are Thomas Müntzer and Johann Sebastian Bach, who worked in Mühlhausen, and Johann August Röbling, who was born in Mühlhausen in 1806. Various kings and princes who played a role in the town's development are also depicted. The pictures range from the first documented mention in 967 to the Thirty Years' War, the plague epidemic of 1682 and the liberation by American troops in 1945 to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. A few meters away from the artwork, a panel has been set up for viewers to explain the individual pictures.
Another work by the artist is located on a house gable on the Unstrut and shows various sights of the town.
