Art in the RaumFabrik Durlach
Art has been part of the campus’s overall concept from the very beginning and plays a key role in the external appearance of RaumFabrik Durlach. The spacious grounds offer an ideal exhibition platform for renowned regional artists, as well as a creative ambiance for tenants and their employees, visitors, and passersby.
Outside, the RaumFabrik Durlach is transformed into an open-air museum accessible to all, with over 30 exhibits, primarily through sculptures (including those by Prof. Werner Pokorny, Claus D. Moor, Prof. David D. Lauer) and the large-format murals of the artists’ association PLAKAT WAND KUNST e. V.
