Exhibition
The Caspar David Friedrich Centre is the meeting place of all who wish to retrace the artist’s footsteps in the town where he was born.
The Centre was opened in 2004 in the historic Soap-House and was enlarged in 2011 to cover the whole of the family’s former living quarters and business premises. It recalls the great painter and the greatest son of Greifswald.

Ida Raselli: Seasons
29 October 2024 - 21 December 2024
on Saturday, 26 October, at 2 pm
in the CDF Centre
In her artistic work, Danish artist and 2024 Caspar David Friedrich Prize winner Ida Raselli focuses on natural materials and their relationship to space. She creates works partly in situ on the walls, but clay and bronze objects as well as paintings with found earth and pigments will also be on display. As an extra, the ‘Seasons’ exhibition will include works by two of Raselli's colleagues that are related to the content of her own work.
Further information about the exhibition can be found here.
Welcome
Welcome to the Caspar David Friedrich Society in Greifswald, the famous early Romantic painter's hometown.
Founded in 1998, our Society is a non-profit-making organization that aims to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the artist and to encourage further research into his life, his personality and his work. These aims are served in particular by the Caspar David Friedrich Centre, which our Society opened on the site of the house in which the painter was born.
We also seek to preserve the artist’s memory through the Caspar David Friedrich Prize, by guided tours and excursions to places associated with the painter and, last but not least, by lectures and public readings.
Our Society extends a warm welcome to all who feel drawn to the great Romantic painter and to his art and who wish to express their commitment to it.
Best regards,
Hannelore Kohl
Chairwoman
