    Caspar David Friedrich's Landscapes

    It is of course not possible to visit and record all the places that appear in Friedrich's work, so this map contains a selection of motifs that focus primarily on Dresden and the surrounding area as well as Rügen. It should be expressly noted that Friedrich also drew in many other places, in particular the area around his birthplace Greifswald or around Copenhagen, where he studied in the 1790s. The motifs of his travels in the Harz Mountains, the Riesengebirge or through Brandenburg are also not currently localized on this map, as is much of what he drew in Saxony and Bohemia. We hope to be able to further enrich this format in the future. You can help by visiting these places yourself and sending us your pictures or even films.

    Special thanks are due at this point to the Friedrich experts Frank Richter and Hannes Knapp, without whose knowledge of Saxon and Bohemian Switzerland and Rügen respectively, as well as the presence of these regions in Friedrich's work, this format would not have been conceivable.

    Friedrich's Landscapes

    Friedrich sometimes travelled long distances on his hikes. He meticulously recorded what he saw in countless studies. He wove many of these motifs into new compositions, so that his landscapes are far more than mere depictions of reality. Even today, many Friedrich enthusiasts take up the challenge of tracking down the places he captured in his paintings. The climber, photographer and Friedrich researcher Frank Richter has been particularly successful in this endeavour. Thanks to him, we are now able to localise so many of the landscapes and motifs. Together with him and other experts, we have visited some of these places and recorded them on this map.
