In 1901 Clarenbach rents a studio in Wittlaer, where the important architect Josef Maria Olbrich (1867-1908) later plans a villa for him.
Since that time, many plants have been created around Wittlaer, including the Aalreusen plant near Wittlaer. The muted blue tones and the light earthy nuances on the banks dominate the picture. The sky and the water illuminate the tranquility of the landscape and set bright accents.
