On the trail of Joseph Beuys by bike

Beuys & Neuss

The Hombroich Museum Island is located just outside Neuss in an idyllic meadow landscape. To explore the site and its works of art, we leave the bike behind and take a special walk past the pavilions of sculptor Erwin Heerich, watercourses and meadows. Beuys' master student and long-time companion Anatol Herzfeld is also present on the Museum Island. Many of his artworks were created in his studio on Museum Island.

The special Beuys moment on the road:
