Karl Schmidt was born in Rottluff (now Chemnitz) in 1884. He was a co-founder of the Brücke artists' group and an important representative of Expressionism in Germany. After many years of initiatives and preliminary planning, the city of Chemnitz decided to convert Karl Schmidt-Rottluff's former parents' house at Limbacher Straße 382 into an artists' house. Together with the neighbouring mill, where Karl Schmidt-Rottluff spent his childhood, the house will be developed into another hotspot of Expressionism in Chemnitz. As a "place of new beginnings", the Karl Schmidt-Rottluff House is one of the intervention areas of the Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025.
