Kunsthalle Tübingen

Description

The Kunsthalle Tübingen is an internationally renowned exhibition venue for contemporary art that has consistently presented retrospectives of outstanding positions of the classic modern period and of postwar art. Its founding can be attributed to the financial commitment of two private persons: in 1971, the sisters Paula Zundel and Dr. Margarethe Fischer, the daughters of Robert Bosch, made it possible for the City of Tübingen to carry out the construction of a gallery and to operate it as a permanent institution in remembrance of the painter Georg Friedrich Zundel (1875–1948). The Kunsthalle was built in what was then a newly developed district to the north of the university town as functional one-story building with excellent lighting conditions.
