From an ornamental line to a sacred space Max Ackermann (1887 – 1975) grew up in Ilmenau and took part in Henry van de Velde's modelling workshops, in 1906/07. He kept a record of his experience there in his diary. Experiments around the ornamental line were later developed by him into abstract designs of space. This was his personal contribution to the „universal language of abstraction“. Tue – Sun 10 am – 6 pm
