Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst – Diether Kunerth

Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst – Diether Kunerth, Contemporary art museum in Ottobeuren, Germany.

The Museum für zeitgenössische Kunst – Diether Kunerth occupies part of the former Hirschbrauerei brewery complex in Ottobeuren's town centre, two storeys high. Stuttgart's Atelier Lohrer kept sections of the so-called Hornung-Halle and added a new entrance and service wing. It opened on 24 May 2014 after a two-year build costing 4.7 million euros, funded by the market town with Bavarian state and EU grants.

The museum opened on 24 May 2014 after a two-year construction phase, built by the market town of Ottobeuren for 4.7 million euros with funding from the Free State of Bavaria and the EU. It replaced a demolished complex of the former Hirschbrauerei brewery, whose Hornung-Halle hall was partly kept and extended. The design came from Atelier Lohrer of Stuttgart, which won the competition against Stephan Braunfels Architekten, among others.

The museum shows two to three exhibitions a year, opening in 2014 with Diether Kunerth's Egypt-themed show and continuing with his "Das Gesicht" in 2015. Since the third exhibition it has paired Kunerth with another artist or given solo shows to others, among them Elvira Bach, Markus Lüpertz and Wolfgang Volz. Kunerth gave a body of his work to the Diether-Kunerth-Stiftung, and shows are drawn from that holding and from works still with the artist.

The museum occupies the converted Hornung-Halle of the former Hirschbrauerei brewery in Ottobeuren's town centre, with an added entrance wing and function rooms. The two-storey building was designed by Atelier Lohrer of Stuttgart. Since summer 2016 it has been run by the Trägerverein Ottobeurer Museen, Kunst und Kultur e.V., so enquiries about visiting go through that association.

The museum reuses part of the Hornung-Halle, a hall of the former Hirschbrauerei brewery demolished in Ottobeuren's centre, with a new entrance wing added. Its integration into the town centre won the ICONIC AWARD 2015 Architecture and the German Design Award in "Excellent Communications Design - Architecture".
