Paula Modersohn-Becker Museum
by HOETGER, Bernhard, Photo
Hoetger’s most important architectural project is the B�ttcherstrasse development (1923-31) in Bremen, built for Ludwig Roselius, a local coffee importer, industrialist and banker. Nine buildings frame a crooked pedestrian street. The climax of Hoetger’s half-medieval, half-idiosyncratic complex is the building he designed to house Roselius’s collection of paintings by Paula Modersohn-Becker (now the Paula-Modersohn-Becker-Haus).
