On June 7, 1905, four young architecture students founded the artist group Brücke in Dresden. Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Fritz Bleyl want nothing less than to rewrite art history. Their drive for change contrasts with a time marked by the conservative attitude of Kaiser Wilhelm II and a bourgeois bourgeoisie. The first years of the Brücke are marked by the search for a new, artistic form of expression and collective activities as a group.
