    On a recent visit to Greiz to see the Art Nouveau buildings on the European Art Nouveau route, I stumbled on Haus Schulenberg in Gera and was very excited to visit it. Renovated in the early 2000s, after falling into decline during the East German (DDR) period, it was renovated and opened to the public in 2013. This is a gem to find in this area by such a famous Belgian Art Nouveau architect and designer as Henry van der Velde and they have done an excellent job with the renovation of the interior of the house. If you are keen on architecture, this is a must to visit if you are in the area.

    From the Autobahn (#:4) getting there by car, including finding a nearby parking lot took us about 30 minutes. Parking was a little a problem, we had to walk about 15 minutes from the parking lot to the entrance. Finding it was quite a hassle. There are no signs (at least, we did not see any). Finally with a map (from a visitors center) we found it. We liked the little tour (+/-20 minutes). Very interesting!
    We would not recommend a visit if your (even slighly) disabled.

    The theater was in this place for a long time. What we see today is not that old. About a century or so. It is nice outside and inside. Inside are pretty modest but nice. Comfortable seats.

    This is the old area of the Bundesgartenschau (German national plant Exhibition) and even though the plants right now are not as they were then it still makes for an inertesting alndscape in beautiful surrounding, beautiful plants, lush Meadows and some interesting sculptures. With the river alongside perfect for a stroll or a picknick.

    Excellent selection of Otto Dix art, plus a visit to the interior of his home, where the art gallery has been located. Just on the outskirts of Gera in a very nice area by a river.

    Orangerie has paintings from local artist Otto Dix but not only. It is located in a very nice setting. Visit all halls (on both sides of the passage in the middle of the building). It does not take much time but is fun.

    Although the tram and bus service is excellent, the whole city of Gera can be reached on foot. The atmosphere is very calm and welcoming, and the people are very kind and eager to help, especially if you do not speak German. Some areas of the city still maintain a very local and industrial aspect of the past.
