The painter, graphic artist and designer Cuno Fischer lived from 1964 to 1973 with his wife, two dogs and a polecat on Loisachstrasse in Murnau. He had deliberately chosen the place because of its close connection to the art of the Blue Rider. He only stayed here for nine years and in 1973 the artist, who could not be categorised or subordinated, left behind a multi-layered body of work. Using a variety of techniques and materials such as glass, wood, canvas, porcelain and paper, he was successful in all areas and had worked with numerous international designers for Rosenthal, Villeroy & Boch and Gral-Glas. Traumatic war experiences - in 1939 as a soldier in the Polish campaign, in 1940 as an occupying soldier in France and in 1941 in the Russian campaign - had found their way into his work in a drastic way. From 1953 onwards, Fischer repeatedly used motifs and themes that he had become acquainted with while living with a Roma family in the Camargue. The castle museum has a large collection of paintings, graphics, reverse glass paintings and arts and crafts products and dedicated Fischer
