In April 2000, the Villa Kobe opened its doors as a structural shell for the Halle region. During the construction period, two pre-exhibitions took place on the construction site in 1999. The exhibition “Eating and eating” by the ceramics department at Burg Giebichenstein, under the direction of Antje Scharfe, was followed in April 1999 by the award of the Stadtwerke Halle's art promotion prize on the subject of “Translation” under the artistic direction of Dagmar Schmidt . The house became an art construction site for one month at a time. After the reconstruction, the first art exhibition took place on April 7, 2000 in Villa Kobe. With Silvia Hatzl, Antje Kobe, Merve and CA Wasserburger, four artists from Wasserburg / Obb presented. their works. Shortly afterwards, Stadtwerke Halle and Stadtwerke Leipzig awarded the Art Prize 2000 to the students of Burg Giebichenstein Halle and the University of Graphics and Book Art (Leipzig). The works awarded by the jury on the subject of "Butterfly" were presented to the public in Villa Kobe.
At the end of 2012 the art gallery closed for economic reasons.
