Wenzel Hablik-Stiftung

The Wenzel Hablik Foundation was established in 1985 by the daughters Susanne Klingeberg and Sibylle Sharma-Hablik to permanently secure the artistic estate of Wenzel Hablik and his wife Elisabeth Lindemann. As a legal foundation under civil law based in Itzehoe, it makes the most extensive collection of Hablik's works available worldwide accessible to the public, teaching, and research. Since 1995, the foundation has operated the Wenzel Hablik Museum, supports publications, exhibitions at home and abroad, and intensive scholarly evaluation of the estate.

The Wenzel Hablik Foundation aims to preserve the artistic estate of Wenzel Hablik and Elisabeth Lindemann, make it available for research and teaching, and present it to a broad public. Through exhibitions, publications, and collaborations, it seeks to promote the cultural significance of Hablik and sustainably establish his work within the museum and cultural landscape.

The foundation's funding activities are aimed at museums and exhibition venues, academic and research institutions in the field of art history, educators and students of art and design studies, as well as the art-interested public. It supports projects and collaborations that promote international recognition of Wenzel Hablik's work through exhibitions, publications, and research initiatives, and that conduct in-depth studies.
