Raimund Pallusseck at the kemenate-hagenbrücke: Experience Art and Night in Braunschweig

Raimund Pallusseck at the kemenate-hagenbrücke: Painting between Night, Music, and Inner Space

The kemenate-hagenbrücke opens from June 12 to July 24, 2026, an atmospherically dense space for the exhibition “Above, the Night is Exact” by Raimund Pallusseck. The presentation leads into a visual world of oil paint, charcoal, and graphite on stone paper, where color spaces, horizons, and soulful landscapes condense into an intense artistic experience.

An Exhibition Space with Historical Aura

The Kemenate Hagenbrücke is one of the oldest secular building forms in Braunschweig and is an impressive monument as a free-standing medieval stone building. This architectural density enhances the exhibition atmosphere: the historical walls, the compact space, and concentrated viewing create that calmness that Pallusseck’s works unfold. Here, monument preservation, curation, and contemporary art encounter each other in a rarely clear form.

Raimund Pallusseck: Artistic Condensation from Music and Sea

Born in Cuxhaven, Raimund Pallusseck chose art after a phase at sea. He studied painting and illustration at the Hochschule für Gestaltung in Hamburg from 1978 to 1983 and has been working as a freelance artist since 1984. His works are often inspired by music, particularly by Bach, Britten, and Wagner. From this musical imprint arise color sounds, structures, and visual rhythms that do not appear illustrative but as independent abstract painting with literary and poetic depth.

Color Spaces, Horizons, and Inner Movement

Characteristic of Pallusseck’s work is the tension between expansiveness and condensation. Horizons appear as distant boundary lines, cloud formations and sea associations open the space, while strong gestural placements enliven the surface. In the examination of the works, a sensitive handling of material and stroke is revealed: large-format sheets, expressive layering, and a sculpturally graceful presence of color mass. The exhibition promises not only art viewing but an aesthetic experience that addresses both thinking and perception.

A Theme with Literary and Spiritual Power

The exhibition title refers to a lyrical, almost metaphysical dimension. Pallusseck’s works move between turmoil and promise, between dramatic gesture and quiet contemplation. Especially in the Kemenate, whose spatial effect is designed for concentration, these works unfold their special presence. Anyone who engages with the exhibition experiences a visual language that integrates art-historical traditions of expressive painting as well as modern forms of abstraction.

Visit, Opening Hours, and Context

The exhibition can be seen at the kemenate-hagenbrücke in Braunschweig. According to official information, the venue is open from Wednesday to Saturday from 11 AM to 3 PM; admission is free. Guided tours for groups are offered upon request. Thus, the visit is suitable for both art-interested individuals and groups seeking a compact, high-quality curated art experience.

Conclusion: “Above, the Night is Exact” promises an exhibition full of intensity, poetry, and painterly depth. Anyone wishing to experience contemporary art in an extraordinary historical space should not miss this station in summer 2026.
