Ruben PhilipsenThe Tadeusz Pavilion, four by four room by Erwin Heerich, Insel Hombroich, Neuss, Germany, 2025
‘Passing through the formative processes of nature and then stepping into the buildings, you will find the specifically human power of design – that is, art.’
Erwin Heerich
Upon the suggestion of the founder of Stiftung Insel Hombroich, the sculptor and draughtsman Erwin Heerich (1922–2004) translated his terse geometric sculptural and drawn works into the architectural plane. Ten walk-in sculptures came about as museum buildings for Museum Insel Hombroich, with an exterior of reclaimed hand-made, fired Dutch brick. The upper part of the Tadeusz Pavilion, named after the painter Norbert Tadeusz, houses my favorite room which is usually kept empty as it’s perfect in itself. Emptiness fills the space while the space is empty.
For more than thirty years a unique cultural location of international significance has been evolving between Düsseldorf and Cologne, near the city of Neuss. Hombroich is a museum, an artists’ workplace and a landscape, a place for architecture and for events in art, literature, philosophy and music all in one.
The Museum Insel Hombroich was opened in 1987 as a realisation of the collector Karl-Heinrich Müller’s concept of art in parallel to nature in an ideal museum and landscape space. The pavilions house his significant collection of art and artefacts spanning two thousand years, with the emphasis on the Modern period.
To me personnaly The Tadeusz Pavilion encompasses everything architecture should be.
