Städtische Galerie Karlsruhe

Städtische Galerie Karlsruhe is an art museum located in the southernmost light court of a large hall building shared with the Center for Art and Media Technology. The collection focuses on German art created after 1945 and spans multiple decades of artistic development.

The museum was founded in 1915, building on a municipal art collection that began in the 19th century. It relocated to its current building in 1997, marking a major shift in how the collection could be displayed and experienced.

The gallery displays works by artists connected to the Karlsruhe Academy of Fine Arts as teachers or students. This focus allows visitors to trace the evolution of the local art scene and its ongoing influence.

The museum operates Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 to 18:00 and on weekends from 11:00 to 18:00, with full wheelchair accessibility throughout the building. The spacious light court and open layout make navigation straightforward for all visitors.

The collection holds a significant collection of prints by German, French, Italian, and Dutch artists spanning the 15th to 18th centuries, including pieces by Martin Schongauer. These prints demonstrate technical mastery and artistic refinement that often go unnoticed but reveal much about how artists worked across generations.
