The art collections of today's museums often have their origins in private collecting. The Ahrenshoop Art Museum has also benefited from this in many cases - for example through donations from the Rostock couple Ute and Ulf Kringel. The couple's private art collection stems from a passionate need for remembrance, which has a lot of family resonance. Over a period of ten years, Ulf Kringel collected dozens of paintings and prints by well-known and lesser-known artists from the Expressionist, Bauhaus and New Objectivity movements. This expressive collection represents both Mecklenburg and Silesian cultural heritage and contains a number of forgotten works of art that the collector rediscovered in the course of adventurous searches.
