DIE AUSSTELLUNG
An exhibition by the Class Choi, State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart
Students from the sculpture class are presenting sculptural works at the Weissenhof Workshop in the Mies van der Rohe House. The title is a reference to the poster designed by Willi Baumeister in 1927 for the Werkbund exhibition ‘DIE WOHNUNG’ (The Dwelling).
The starting point is the historical function of the Weissenhof Estate as an exhibition and showcase for new forms of living and building. This relationship between art, architecture and presentation is explored spatially in the exhibition.
As a central element, a room-filling plinth is created for DIE AUSSTELLUNG (The Exhibition), upon which the artists’ individual works are displayed. The plinth presumes to be read as an architectural design for the Weissenhof Estate itself and compels visitors to navigate the space in an entirely new way.
Within this spatial context, the students’ individual works enter into a dialogue with one another and with their architectural surroundings. Thematically, they engage in various ways with the Weissenhofsiedlung, the Bauhaus and the associated concepts of architecture, housing and life, and transpose these into a new context.

20 years of the Weissenhof Museum in the Le Corbusier House
26.10.2026
What began almost 100 years ago as a visionary experiment is now regarded as a milestone in the history of architecture: the construction of the Weissenhof Estate. For 20 years, the Weissenhof Museum in the Le Corbusier House has been showcasing the history of this extraordinary site and demonstrating why the ideas of modernist architecture remain relevant to this day.
For 20 years, the Weissenhof Museum has been an integral part of Stuttgart’s museum and cultural landscape. It is housed in a semi-detached house designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret in 1927. Following its comprehensive restoration in accordance with conservation guidelines between 2003 and 2005, the house was opened as a museum in 2006. To this day, it remains the only house in the Weissenhof Estate that is open to the public.
The museum’s unique quality lies in its location: visitors experience architecture not merely through plans, photographs or models, but can discover the spaces, proportions and the original concept of the house first-hand as they walk through the building. In the left-hand half of the semi-detached house, the museum presents the history of the Weissenhof Estate. In the right-hand half, visitors explore Le Corbusier’s design for a ‘transformable living space’ as it was reconstructed in 1927. The museum is run by the association ‘Freunde der Weissenhofsiedlung e.V.’.
Architectural history in dialogue with the present
When it opened in 2006, the semi-detached house designed by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret became permanently accessible as a museum. Since then, the Weissenhof Museum has welcomed around 500,000 visitors from Stuttgart, Germany and all over the world.
At the same time, the museum has been active far beyond the scope of its permanent exhibition: special exhibitions, lectures, discussions, concerts, guided tours and collaborations have repeatedly opened up new perspectives on the Weissenhof Estate. In doing so, the focus has extended far beyond historical architecture:
Exhibitions such as „Wie bauen? Wie wohnen? Wie leben?“ placed the Weissenhof Estate in the context of other European Werkbund estates and demonstrated how new forms of living were being explored on an international scale.
Art, photography and contemporary architecture have also regularly found a place at the Weissenhof. In 2021, for example, the temporary installation ‘brāhha’ explored the traces of war and the history of the site. In 2024, the Weissenhof was part of the ‘Villa Massimo zu Gast in Stuttgart’ festival, which brought together architecture, visual arts, literature and music. In 2026, an exhibition was dedicated to the photographer Otto Lossen, whose photographs played a key role in shaping the international perception of the Weissenhof Estate.
A museum in the very heart of Stuttgart
An integral part of the Weissenhof Museum’s identity is its role as a key element of the city’s cultural life. During the ‘Lange Nacht der Museen’, the museum regularly stays open late into the night, whilst at the ‘Sommerfest am Killesberg’ it joins forces with neighbouring institutions to offer a cultural programme for the public. On ‘Open Heritage Day’ too, the museum invites visitors to rediscover the Weissenhof Estate with guided tours and free admission.
In 2016, the significance of the Weissenhof was underlined by a special international honour: Le Corbusier’s semi-detached house, together with the neighbouring detached house, was recognised as part of the transnational UNESCO World Heritage Site ‘The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier – an Outstanding Contribution to the Modern Movement’.
Further recognition followed in 2020: the European Commission awarded the Werkbund estates in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and Austria the European Heritage Label.
20 years of the museum, almost 100 years of Weissenhof
To mark its 20th anniversary, the Weissenhof Museum is not only looking back, but also looking ahead. For the questions that modernist architects grappled with almost 100 years ago are more relevant than ever: How do we want to live? How can architecture respond to social change? And how can good design be reconciled with the demands of a changing city?
“The upcoming anniversary in 2027 is an opportunity for us to position Weissenhof even more firmly as a vibrant hub for architectural education. We want to further develop our programme, reach new audiences and promote dialogue on architecture and living. The Weissenhof.Forum opens up new possibilities for this. At the same time, the Le Corbusier House remains the highlight of any visit to the Weissenhof, as it allows visitors to experience the ideas of Modernism first-hand,” says Verena Lebherz, Director of the Weissenhof Museum in the Le Corbusier House.

NOMINATION FOR THE
TOURISM INNOVATION AWARD 2027
TOURISM INNOVATION AWARD 2027
23.09.2026
We are delighted to have been nominated for the 2027 Tourism Innovation Award in the ‘Service Provider’ category, presented by the Tourismus-Verband Baden-Württemberg.
We submitted our entry with our new digital guide, which we are developing in collaboration with the City of Stuttgart’s Cultural Affairs Office and Atelier Markgraph. From next year, when the Weissenhof Estate celebrates its 100th anniversary, visitors will be able to take an interactive guided tour of the listed estate. The browser-based web app presents the history and architecture in an accessible way through easy-to-understand, vivid narratives. 3D models and augmented reality make it possible to explore the architecture of 1927 in new ways, whilst also allowing visitors to experience buildings that no longer exist. Providing a variety of ways to engage with the site for a diverse range of visitors is particularly important to us; for example, children can also explore the buildings in a playful way. This is what won over the jury!
We would like to thank the jury for this wonderful recognition and are delighted to be part of this special competition marking the ‘75 Years of Baden-Württemberg’ anniversary, alongside the two other nominees. The winner of the prize will be announced at the awards ceremony during CMT 2027.
