Kunsthaus, Art gallery in a 17th-century warehouse in Stade, Germany
The Kunsthaus is an exhibition house run by the Museumsverein Stade e.V. in a 1667 timber-framed merchant's storehouse on the Schwinge in the old Hanseatic harbour. The building is the tallest in its row, and its pulley's crane beam and loading hatches survive on the gable storey.
The building dates from 1667 and is a timber-framed merchant's house on the Schwinge in the old Hanseatic harbour. In 1987 the Museumsverein Stade e.V. took it over; a museum room on the history of the partner district Goldap had been set up there before. Since 2009 it has shown temporary art exhibitions.
The building served the Stade district as a "museum room on the history of the partner district Goldap in East Prussia" before the Museumsverein Stade e. V. took it over in 1987. Since 2009 the Kunsthaus has shown changing exhibitions of classical modern and contemporary art, including August Macke, Hannah Höch, Pablo Picasso, Jörg Immendorff, Jonathan Meese and Daniel Richter, as well as themed shows such as "Der naive Krieg".
The Kunsthaus occupies a 1667 timber-framed merchant's house on the Schwinge in the Alten Hansehafen, the tallest building in its row. The pulley's crane beam and the loading hatches on the gable storey are still in place, so look up at the facade before entering.
The pulley beam and loading hatches on the gable are still in place: goods were once hoisted through the hatch into storage floors, while the merchant lived on the street-facing upper floor. At 1667 the house is the tallest in its row on the Schwinge.
