Museum Hein Meyer – Otto Tetjus Tügel Zuhause

The Museum Hein Meyer – Otto Tetjus Tügel Zuhause sits in the old town hall of Bremervörde, a two-storey classical building on Neue Straße. The building was constructed in 1830 as a private house and served as the town hall from 1880 until 1985. In 2019 local resident Hein Meyer bought the protected structure, and two years later he opened the museum on the ground floor.

The permanent display shows around three hundred works by Otto Tetjus Tügel. Hein Meyer and his wife Marianne Gerth-Meyer assembled the collection through purchases and donations. Visitors see paintings, drawings and etchings alongside personal items from the artist’s later years in the Bremervörde area. The museum also hosts occasional readings, concerts and talks. A support group called the Verein ‘Museum Hein Meyer Tetjus Tügel Zuhause’ was set up in October 2024, with Hein Meyer as its chair.

Inside, the rooms follow the original layout of the former town hall offices. The walls carry a chronological arrangement of Tügel’s art, from early studies to late landscapes. A small foyer introduces the artist’s life in the region. Outside, the building stands in the quiet centre of Bremervörde, close to the church and market square.
