Artists´ House of Hans von Hayek, Picture: City of Dachau, Peter Riester

Hans von Hayek (1869-1940) built a property with living quarters and a separate studio. He kept many animals which served as models for his paintings.

The two three-storey gable-fronted houses meet at right angles. The gable-fronts have been baroque-ified and their eave sills are decorated with a tin frieze. Von Hayek headed a school of fine arts in Dachau for landscape and animal painting.

Along with Stockmann and Pfaltz he initiated the founding of the Gemäldegalerie Dachau.

Artists´ House of Hermann Stockmann, called Spatzenschlössl, Picture: City of Dachau, Florian Göttler

The so-called “Sparrows’ Castle”, built in 1899, was the residence of artist, designer and illustrator Hermann Stockmann (1867-1938).

He arrived in Dachau in 1898 and had the villa built in the neo-baroque style.

A friend of the sparrow, he always provided food and shelter for them on his property and thus Stockmann named his villa the “Sparrows’ Castle”.
