Graevenitz-Museum, art museum in Solitude, Stuttgart, Germany
The Graevenitz-Museum (also called Museum Fritz von Graevenitz) is an art museum in Stuttgart-West dedicated to the work of sculptor Fritz von Graevenitz. The collection is housed in the Kavaliershaus, a small building within the Schloss Solitude complex, and displays a selection of his sculptures and paintings.
Fritz von Graevenitz was a sculptor who worked from 1921 until 1959, creating sculptures and paintings in his studio at Solitude. After his death, his wife Jutta opened the museum in 1971 to preserve his artistic legacy and working environment.
The museum keeps the name of its founder: Jutta von Graevenitz, the artist's wife, opened it in 1971 in House 24 on the Solitude, the family's home since 1906. It shows selected works by the sculptor and painter Fritz von Graevenitz, who had his studios and a barn on the garden side of the house until his death in 1959.
The museum occupies Kavaliershaus 24 on the Solitude, along the main avenue leading to Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart-West, near Gerlingen. It opens on Sundays from 12 to 18, and guided tours can be arranged by phone at any time. Admission is a voluntary contribution toward keeping the museum running.
The artist's studio was originally set on the garden side of house 24 at Solitude, featuring workshops and a barn that were later demolished. This working environment continues to shape how the artist and his creations are understood today.
