history

The two-story Kunsthaus Wiesbaden was built in 1863 as a primary school according to plans by the architect Philipp Hoffmann . The Gründerzeit building resembles a palace in the style of classicism . From 1919 on, the building was used as a crafts and arts and crafts school. From this the renowned art school of the RheinMain University developed . The painter and object artist Peter Roehr was a student at the Werkkunstschule . Today around 25 percent of the former Wiesbaden school is listed .

In 1982 the building in need of renovation stood empty and therefore Helmut Schulze-Reichenberg, the chairman of the Professional Association of Visual Artists Wiesbaden (BBK), took the opportunity and launched a broadcast in 1986 among like-minded artists who then occupied the house and a large exhibition in the auditorium organized. The artists then set up studios in both the main building and the adjoining building. As early as 1987, the artists opened their workshops to the public on the “Open Studio Day”. The BBK proclaimed the building an art house and carried out a number of activities - such as exhibitions, art talks, seminars, festivals and the symposium “Art in the Vineyard”. Therefore the city of Wiesbaden acquired the house for cultural purposes. Since 1988 the building has been in the administration of the cultural office of the state capital Wiesbaden and serves as an exhibition and event location for artists with regional and international connections. The city of Wiesbaden provides studios to selected artists every five years.

In 2011, a single-storey new building was opened directly adjacent to the old building. The simple building houses an art gallery over 300 square meters in size and an art library in the basement . The architecturally independent cube was built on the site of a demolished extension from the 1950s.
