Kunsthalle Würth expansion is taking shapE

Kunsthalle Würth in Schwäbisch Hall opened in 2001, designed by the internationally renowned architect Henning Larsen from Copenhagen. Built above an existing underground garage in the redeveloped St. Katharine's district, it blends sensitively into the medieval, small-scale old town while offering a surprisingly spacious outdoor area with sweeping views over the city.

25 years later, in October 2026, the second extension opened, once again realized in collaboration with Henning Larsen Architects.

The extension follows the same guiding principles as the original building: generosity and integration into the urban space, along with the use of natural light and spatial sequences. With its intricate, dynamic roofline, the extension echoes the characteristic houses of Schwäbisch Hall. The former courtyard becomes an elongated city square with vistas and connecting passageways; inside, spacious exhibition halls unfold, opening up a new tour route.
