Description: Heinrich Vogeler called the house "Barkenhoff" and turned it into an artist's home. The Art Nouveau villa became a meeting point for intellectuals and artists. Vogeler lived there with his wife Martha. The three daughters Mieke, Mieke, Helene and Mascha were born here. After separating from Martha, Vogeler founded the Barkenhoff community and work school in 1919. A metal and a wood workshop have been providing the residents work and bread, and the garden was used for self-sufficiency from then.

In 1923 the project "work school" got into financial difficulties, the Barkenhoff temporarily became a children's home and received financial support. In 1924 Vogeler sold the Red Aid building. The children's home had to be closed in 1932.

The Swedish Institute for Racial Biology

Description: The State Institute for Racial Biology was a Swedish governmental research institute founded in 1922 with the stated purpose of studying eugenics and human genetics. It was located in Uppsala and as a governmental agency, it was the world's first of its kind. Its first head was Herman Lundborg.

For his doctoral dissertation, Lundborg had researched a form of genetic progressive myoclonic epilepsy first described by Heinrich Unverricht in 1891. In addition to giving an account of the disease, he traced an affected family back to the 18th century, an analysis unique for that time. He concluded that the family had genetically degenerated because of unwise marriages.

Under his leadership, the institute began gathering statistics and photographs to map the racial make-up of about 100,000 Swedish people. This research later became one of the foundations of a eugenic program of the Swedish government, which consisted of both voluntary and involuntary sterilisation of persons with negative genetic characteristics. The program was started in 1935 and lasted until 1975.
