Zehntscheuer, Arts centre and timber-framed house in Ravensburg, Germany

The Zehntscheuer is an arts center and event venue in Ravensburg that combines a timber-framed building with exposed wooden beams and traditional regional elements from Baden-Württemberg. Inside, the building contains theater and concert spaces along with exhibition areas for various artistic presentations.

Built in 1378, the building stored the tithes in kind owed to the neighbouring Bruderhaus, an almshouse for single men, until 1719; it was therefore also called Bruderhaus-Stadel. Demolition was planned, but in 1982 the founding of the Zehntscheuer Ravensburg e.V. association prevented it, and volunteers renovated the building with financial support from the city. It has been used as a small arts venue since 1983 and was comprehensively modernised in 2012, making it the only surviving structure of its kind in Ravensburg.

The name Zehntscheuer refers to the tithe barn where the neighbouring Bruderhaus, a home for single men, stored its tithes in kind until 1719; it was earlier called Bruderhaus-Stadel. Since 1983 the building has hosted around 80 to 100 events a year, and it is where the annual Ravensburger Kupferle cultural prize is awarded.

The Zehntscheuer stands on Grüner-Turm-Straße in Ravensburg's old town, a short walk from the central squares. The building is used as a venue, so the interior is open to visitors mainly during events and the restaurant's opening hours; the programme of roughly 80 to 100 events a year is announced in advance.

The building preserves its original wooden structure while housing modern facilities for contemporary performances. This blend of old and new makes the space distinctive for visitors who value both traditional architecture and current artistic work.
