Photo: Frank Stolle In 1906, the work "Woman in winter landscape on a green bench" by Franz Marc. Photo: Frank Stolle The houses, the light, the lake - if you are on the road here, you understand what inspired the painter. Photo: Frank Stolle If you go hiking alone, you will also get the information for the tour via the app „Franz Marc Kunstspaziergang“. Photo: Frank Stolle Franz Marc first spent the summer of 1884 in Kochel am See with his family. Photo: Frank Stolle Like a delicate filter: the light around Lake Kochel is simply different. Photo: Frank Stolle As beautiful as painted - our author can't get enough of the landscape around Kochel. Photo: Frank Stolle The tour continues on the Kochelsee along the south. Photo: Frank Stolle Of course, the Franz-Marc-Tour also passes the Kochelsee – the painter found a lot of inspiration here. Michael in Kochel am See looks so picturesque from the inside. Photo: Frank Stolle The walk takes you past wild meadows and pretty chapels. Photo: Frank Stolle In Kochel there is an official art walk about Franz Marc - either as a guides tour. Photo: Frank Stolle Franz Marc and his wife Maria, born Franck, are buried in the cemetery in Kochel. Photo: Frank Stolle From the terrace of the Franz Marc Museum you have a great view on the Herzogstand. Photo: Frank Stolle The Marc Museum in Kochel is also home to contemporary art exhibitions. Photo: Frank Stolle According to Franz Marc, the color blue was "the male principle, harsh and spiritual". The horses are a typical Franz Marc motif - he painted them for several years. And I have especially never been to Sindelsdorf, a small municipality to the north of Kochel, where Marc lived during the most productive period of his life. For although I live in Munich, I had never been to Kochel, where Franz March spent a lot of holidays in his childhood and his student days, or to Murnau, where he dropped into the “Russian House” – the derogatory name that the locals gave to Gabriele Münter’s house, where she lived with her life partner Wassily Kandinsky – to meet other artists. But that is where my knowledge ended, both artistically and geographically. I also knew that many of the members of “Der Blaue Reiter” lived in the country, specifically in the region of the Staffelsee (lake) and the Kochelsee.
In the Lenbachhaus (art gallery) in Munich, I have seen what is probably his most famous work, “Blaues Pferd I” (Blue Horse I). I knew that he is regarded as one of the most significant representatives of the Expressionist movement and that he belonged to “Der Blaue Reiter”, which he founded together with Wassily Kandinsky.
It settles over the landscape like a mellow filter, a soft focus that gives the scenery a somewhat magical appearance.
