At the Schaftlach train station, empty rooms have been filled with creativity: twelve artists from the region are exhibiting in the former pizzeria.
Schaftlach
- “Pippina, the short one” has already been admired in Holland, Greece and Italy.
The giraffe, made of colored glass, was part of an international traveling exhibition where Susanne Stubner was able to show the sculpture in European cities.
"I've always been interested in glass," says Stubner, "it's very versatile and complex." She raves about it: "I am glass, it's inside of me."
Since Saturday Pippina has been part of the “creative - colorful - different” show in the empty pizzeria opposite the Schaftlach train station.
Before the building is demolished, twelve men and women from the newly formed “KunstStatt” group from the Miesbach district can present their works there.
Street art style Bob Marley alongside home motifs
The street artist Sandro Thomas shows a colorful portrait of Bob Marley made in mixed media.
"It is my dedication to him," says the young artist, who enjoys listening to the music of the Jamaican reggae singer who died 40 years ago.
Thomas also feels connected to Marley because the songwriter had his cancer treated in Rottach-Egern shortly before his death.
The painter was again trained at Tegernsee.

Philomena Wieser titled her picture, painted with acrylic paints on canvas, “Forgiveness”.
It shows a withdrawn woman, the splayed fingers of one hand grip the fingers of a hand that protrudes out of nowhere.
"Forgiveness is the only thing that helps or changes you," explains Wieser about her picture.
Her sister Agnes paints more colorfully.
She is represented at the exhibition with three works, including the "Woman in the Jungle", which almost merges with the diversity of plants.
Gerti Vogel is fond of motifs from home, such as the Malerwinkel in Rottach-Egern or the Alte Bad in Wildbad Kreuth, which she paints in watercolor.
Photos, paintings and sculptures
Katharina Eisenberg sees herself “more as a creator than an artist. Sometimes I see a picture inside and then have to paint it, ”she says about the genesis of her work. Initially, her work was heavily inspired by fashion. In the meantime, however, she expresses even more of her personality in the pictures, as in the “flower secret” shown. “This is a very grounded woman in harmony with nature,” she says of the acrylic painting on canvas with the characteristic plant vortex.
Michael Bachmann is dedicated to the photographic art.
On a morning tour through Bad Wiessee, the “rest of the party” caught his eye at a boathouse.
Several empty wine glasses, one half full, and an abandoned beer bottle testify to the wet and happy partying.
“But what remains of the festival the day after,” asks Bachmann.
Only what can be seen in the picture or what cannot be seen?
"Friends, the stranger who became a friend, good jokes and bad jokes."
Lizzie Hladik is concerned with nature and characters in her works.
“That was particularly interesting for me from the start.” Two of her pictures show water falling.
In fact, there is a lot of movement in the works, at least nothing static.
A metal sculpture of her represents a couple. The man holds the woman, but without too much closeness she expresses togetherness.
“Pippina, the short one” doesn't have to wait long for a partner.
“Jorge the Magnificent” is already haunted by Susanne Stubner.
"I just have to find the time to create it."
The exhibition can be seen on the coming weekends
The exhibition can be seen on the weekends of September 10th to 12th as well as September 18th and 19th from 5 to 8 p.m. in the former pizzeria at Michael-Schreiber-Weg 2 in Schaftlach.
The artists take turns on site.
