The Hermann Brachert House-Museum is located in a picturesque setting on the shore of the Baltic Sea (formerly Georgenswalde). The memorial museum opened in 1993 in the Brachert family's country house, built by architect Hans Hopp in 1931 and reconstructed in 1992. The House-Museum exhibition presents the creative legacy of German sculptor Hermann Brachert (1890-1972) and his wife, photographer Maria Brachert (1893-1970).
For 25 years, from 1919 to 1944, they lived in East Prussia and considered it their homeland. Hermann Brachert worked in sculpture, medal art and jewellery. He created more than 20 monumental sculptures for Königsberg and the provinces of East Prussia.
For many years, the artist worked as a consultant and designer for the State Amber Manufactory. H. Brachert taught at the School of Arts and Crafts in Königsberg and, after moving to Stuttgart in 1944, served as rector of the Academy of Fine Arts. Maria Brachert, née von Wistinghausen, was born in Saint Petersburg and lived with her husband in Königsberg, Georgenswalde and Stuttgart. As an art photographer, she left invaluable material on the cultural life of East Prussia: she created photographic portraits, photographed architectural landscapes for albums and exhibits of the Royal Castle museum, and produced photographs for The Book of Amber and Alfred Rohde's book Königsberg.
The Hermann Brachert House-Museum functions as a creative and communication space within the infrastructure of resort Svetlogorsk. The museum staff strive to preserve the traditions of a hospitable home and organise group and individual tours, exhibitions of works by Kaliningrad, Lithuanian and Polish artists, art exhibitions from Russian and foreign museums, concerts, creative club meetings, chamber gatherings, professional discussions and informal conversations.
