Dr. Otto Lossen – The Photographer of the Weissenhof Estate 1927

In 1927, Dr. Otto Lossen was given the exclusive commission to photograph and document the buildings of the Werkbund exhibition “Die Wohnung” (The Apartment) in Stuttgart. His photos were used as press images and were published around the globe during the exhibition period. As a result, they contributed significantly to the enthusiastic international reception of the Weissenhof Estate and continue to shape its perception to this day.

Little was previously known about Lossen’s life and other works. The exhibition is dedicated to the biography of the doctor of chemistry, who came to photography through a position at the Stuttgart-based company J. Hauff & Co. Other works by him are also on display, some of them as original prints. Also on display are new, large-format, high-quality reproductions of his Weissenhof images. These are based on original contact prints discovered in various archives from the lost glass plates.

An exhibition curated by Inken Gaukel, in scientific collaboration with Wolfram Janzer.

Long Night of Museums 2026

It’s that time of year again in March: On March 21, the Long Night of Museums will take place in around 60 museums, cultural institutions, galleries and other extraordinary locations throughout the city of Stuttgart. The Weissenhof Museum in the Le Corbusier House and the Weissenhofwerkstatt in the Mies van der Rohe House will also be participating again and will be open until 1 am!

Starting at 6:30 pm, 15-minute special tours will begin every half hour at the Le Corbusier House. The Weissenhofwerkstatt will host the special exhibition “Dr. Otto Lossen – The Photographer of the Weissenhof Estate 1927”.

Be sure to save the date! All information and the complete program will be available here when advance ticket sales begin on February 20, 2026. Admission on this evening is only possible with a ticket for the Long Night of Museums. Tickets can be purchased in advance and at the box offices of the participating institutions. As the Le Corbusier House can accommodate a maximum of 50 visitors at a time, there may be short waiting times.

Dear museum visitors,

On 23 March and from approximately 7 to 20 April, the façade of the Le Corbusier House will be cleaned.
This maintenance work is being carried out to care for and preserve the building.

Please note that during this period, the façade will be partially obscured by scaffolding and therefore cannot be photographed as usual. We know that many visitors come to our museum specifically to see its exterior and ask for your understanding in this matter.

During this period, there may also be occasional restrictions in the entrance area and some minor noise disturbance. However, the museum will remain open.

Thank you for your understanding! We look forward to your visit.

The Weissenhof Team
