Ingrid Roosen-Trinks has enriched Berlin’s artistic and cultural scene for 15 years with her Collection of contemporary art and especially through her OPEN HOUSE events. The Salons she and her husband Helmut Trinks organised, in which a wide variety of famous personalities from art and culture met, are legendary. For many years, a great affection has also connected Ingrid Roosen-Trinks to the Angeln peninsular region in the north of the state of Schleswig-Holstein, where she has founded 2022 KUNST für ANGELN e.V., a non-profit association to promote and communicate art and culture in a wide variety of projects.
PROGRAM 2025
The Association Kunst für Angeln has planned for 2025 many initiatives that want to promote the understanding of art in northern Germany, and this is as always addressed to people of all ages. Exhibitions at the Wittkielhof, art in the castle, workshops and more.
KATJA RUGE
PHOTOGRAPHY & MUSIC WITH ELECTRIC LIGHTS
Working with Katja Ruge means encountering someone who is both deeply empathetic and highly professional.
“I immediately connect and ally myself with the person in front of me.” As a photographer, she is a collaborator on equal footing, intuitively sensing whether her subject needs an energy boost or gentle guidance.
children’s art club angeln
The latest children’s workshop focused on sculpture and the body, resulting in the creation of wearable sculptures. The children had an enormous amount of fun with the artist Chili Seitz.
ART COMES TO
KIDS
The association KUNST FÜR ANGELN and the Protestant Kita Werk Schleswig-Holstein will present also 2025 latest works of art from the day care center children from Flensburg, Gelting and Scheggerott: the art comes back to the kindergarten and will inspire children to create their own works of art.
The results will be exhibited in the CHILDREN’S ART CLUB ANGELN at the WITTKIELHOF, Schleswig-Holstein’s only museum for children’s art!
ART AGAINST LONELINESS
The outstanding cross-generational social project in the north will continue in 2025: The association KUNST FÜR ANGELN and senior students from fishing bring seniors from the region out of their isolation by means of ART and experience the current art exhibitions of the association together!
reVIEW 2024
We look back on two extensive art exhibitions in the Asmus-Petersen barn at the Wittkielhof, two large workshops for children with artists from the collection Roosen-Trinks, two remarkable exhibitions of children’s art by children in daycare centers aged 3 – 6 years in the Children’s Art Club Angeln, the social project “Art against loneliness” for seniors from Angeln and a photo art exhibition on the topic of German-Danish friendship at Gelting Castle.
ART IN THE
SCHOOL
KUNST FÜR ANGELN and the Nordlicht-School in Süderbrarup opened on April 26 2023 the second art exhibition with paintings of contemporary art from the ROOSEN-TRINKS Collection.
CHILDREN’S WORKSHOPS

THE WITTKIELHOF
