Whether it\u2019s a creative open-air artists&#8217; path or a gallery for paintings in the old town of Dachau. The small Bavarian town shows some fine artistic taste. Adolf H\u00f6lzel, Arthur Langhammer and Ludwig Dill are just a few of the names of the well-known painters who influenced the life of the citizens of Dachau. At the end of the 19th century, their works brought the town recognition as a national center of landscape painting. Dachau was the base for Europe&#8217;s most important artists&#8217; colony at that time. This artistic past can be felt in every corner of the town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul
