Ludwig Museum im Deutschherrenhaus

The Ludwig Museum occupies four floors of the Deutschherrenhaus and displays contemporary art collections with rotating exhibitions throughout the year. The building itself is a substantial structure with its own architectural presence overlooking the riverside.

The Deutschherrenhaus was founded in the 12th century as a stronghold of the Teutonic Order and remained their center for centuries. The museum was established in 1992, adapting this historic structure to display art from the modern era.

The collection features European artists from 1945 onward, including works by Picasso, Dubuffet, and Soulages that represent French modernism. Visitors encounter artistic movements and creative responses to the post-war world.

The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday starting at 10:30 AM and on Sundays and holidays from 11:00 AM. The main entrance is easy to locate, and elevators provide access to all four floors.

The museum concentrates heavily on French contemporary art, with extensive works from the Nouveaux Réalistes and Figuration libre movements. This focus on French artistic currents sets it apart from other museums in the region.
