Villa Irmgard
Welcome to
Villa Irmgard
Richly decorated with Art Nouveau elements, not only the exterior of the villa has been preserved in its original form. The interior also breathes the spirit of bygone times. The inventory is contemporary history you can touch. But the small museum not only houses Wilhelminian and Art Nouveau antiques. It is also a very modern place that invites you to special events, concerts, readings, lectures, film screenings and small theater performances. Changing exhibitions always attract art lovers to the first floor. In summer, the villa's garden is filled with music. When it gets uncomfortable and stormy outside, the cozy candlelight concerts are very popular.
AND YET AND DESPITE ALL THIS, ONE DAY PEOPLE WILL CAN'T HOW BROTHERS LIVE

Maxim Gorky
On the massive desk an open notebook, full of thoughts, ideas, visions, right next door there is a cozy sofa in an Art Nouveau alcove, soft piano cascades trickle down the old, crooked wooden staircase from the first floor - the two-storey Villa Irmgard kidnaps its visitors a journey through time into the life of one of the most famous Russian writers of the early 20th century. Maxim Gorki lived and worked here for several months in 1922 and recovered from a serious illness in the fresh Baltic Sea air. He loved the sound of the waves and the silence of the surrounding forests. Here, in the Villa Irmgard, he received Alexei Tolstoy and other famous friends and wrote his autobiography “My Universities”. And even today, the former living quarters look as if the passionate writer was about to enter through the glass patio door.

exhibition
"Following the herring – female artists in public space"
It is a story about female artists who often remain hidden behind their work—behind the painting, the graphic, the poster—and about their creative process, which expresses the contemporary idea of freedom. Photographer Andrzej Max Łazowski, together with the exhibition's protagonists, demonstrates their flexible approach to the proposed theme, interpreted through their own artistic sensibilities.
The same herring motif, in its diverse forms of expression, becomes the starting point for a German-Polish cultural dialogue. Behind every image is a woman. Behind every form is a voice and a story.
Exhibition announcement
From May 09th | "REMIX"
Anke Beier-Amani, born in 1966 in Leipzig (Saxony, Germany), grew up in Waren-Müritz and Berlin-Treptow. A graduate in finance, she works for a tax office in Berlin. "My grandfather was a goldsmith," she explains, describing the origin of her creativity.
Since 2018, she has also been active as a freelance painter, author, and photographer. She works closely with her husband and artistic partner, Roland Beier, who is also a caricaturist, cartoonist, and illustrator. Classical music connects the visual worlds of these two creatives. To the impressive vocals of coloratura mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli on her album "Farinelli" or to the inspiring sounds of Vivaldi's piano concerto "The Four Seasons"—to name just two examples—the artist creates colorful canvas objects from fabric arrangements with a subtle three-dimensionality, or poetic abstract acrylic paintings, which she occasionally embellishes with her own imaginative wire compositions. In her first solo exhibition, she also presents photographs. Her delicate floral photographs, as well as her urban photographic studies, represent another area of experimentation in her search for artistic expression. She works with elements of alienation such as dissection, reflection, focus on excerpts and deliberate blurring, thereby opening up new perspectives on the depicted objects for the viewer.
Joint exhibitions in Germany at the Kempinski Hotel in Dresden (2020 and 2025), in Pudagla and Heringsdorf on the island of Usedom (2022 and 2023), in the Rococo castle Dornburg in Thuringia (2025), in the Casino Torrevieja on the Costa Blanca in Spain (2026) and her solo exhibition in the Villa Irmgard in Heringsdorf (2026) represent artistic highlights.
