Just an hour from Munich, Holzhausen am Ammersee sits on the western shore of the Ammersee — where painters of the artists’ group “Die Scholle” settled around 1900, drawn by the lake, the light and a simple village life far from the city.
This is where Mathias Gasteiger, Fritz Erler and Adolf Münzer built their summer houses — and where their artists’ villas still stand among gardens reaching down to the water.
