Ernst Murbach, Muttenz - Malerei, Ölgemälde „Bahnübergang“ is a 1941 unspecified by Muttenz Ernst Murbach, held at Museums Muttenz.
This painting shows a quiet train crossing with a signal arm and red-and-white striped poles. A small train sits on the tracks, while a few people wait under a shelter on the right. The sky is soft and cloudy, with a mix of blues and grays, and the buildings look simple and functional. The signal arm is a key detail—it’s the kind of equipment that controlled train movements before automation. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a quick, sketchy feel.

Ernst Murbach didn’t live in a big city—instead, he set up shop in the quiet Swiss town of Muttenz, where he painted the ordinary things around him.
