We have assigned godparents from our family to our rooms - they determine the respective picture world:
Room One: Orange papers
Topic: Dirik von Oettingen (* 1944) has been collecting orange papers since 1997. His collection comprises more than 40,000 papers from all over the world and is presented to interested parties in the OPIUM Orange Paper Museum (www.opiummuseum.de ). Dirik von Oettingen has bundled his knowledge in several books, including ‘Verhüllt um zu verführen. The World on the Orange’ and ’Golden Seeds. The world on the orange box’. This important collection was donated to the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz in January 2025.

Room Three: Oriental carpets
Topic: Reinhart von Oettingen (1876 - 1952), a grandfather on his father's side, was drafted into the Russian army in Tbilisi as a German-Balt. There he came into contact with oriental carpets and found the subject of his life. After his military service, he stayed and travelled the Caucasus and Central Asia in search of Persian, Caucasian and Turkmen knotted carpets. He became a recognised carpet expert and founded ‘Reinhart von Oettingen's Persian Carpet Trade in Berlin with a branch in Taebriz in Persia’. In 1910, he self-published ‘Masterpieces of Oriental Knotting’. The work, consisting of 60 colour plates with a short explanatory text and a map of the regions of origin, is regarded as an early pioneering work on nomadic and peasant carpets of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Room Four: Painting
Topic: The self-portrait and easel indicate this: Room Four is dedicated to the painter Gerhart von Oettingen (1913 - 2007, gerhartvonoettingen.de ) dedicated.
‘Until the 1980s, the artist only worked figuratively, but then he began to increasingly break down his landscape paintings into coloured components - until circles and squares began to dominate his pictures, playing only with the surface, negating a top and bottom. Simplification, abbreviation, simplicity - these are the key words with which Gerhart von Oettingen's painterly work can best be identified.’
