Remaining in the northeast state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, the university city of Greifswald is also the birthplace of Caspar David Friedrich (CDF), notable early 19th-century painter who is a centrepiece for the German Romanticism art movement. 2024 marks the 250th year of his birth, which means all sorts of special exhibitions all year throughout the country, especially in Greifswald.
Arriving in Greifswald for mid-afternoon check-in means time is short, and I head straight to the Pommersches Landesmuseum (Pomeranian State Museum) for their current CDF exhibition.

“Schnell eilte ich die Straßen durch, auf grüne Fluhr zu kommen, wo freier die Luft uns reiner umgiebt, und fröhlich der Mensch sich fühlet.” / “I quickly hurried through the streets to get to the green fields, where the air is pure and free, and the people feel happy.” CDF.
