Weikersheim on the “Romantische Strasse” in the north-east of
Baden-Württemberg is known as the Town of Music through its music
academy and the “Jeunesses Musicales” initiative. Until now, the only
performance venue for musicians in Weikersheim had been the town hall.
The town will soon have another: a new concert
hall.

The design engages in dialogue with its immediate surroundings,
the nearby Renaissance castle and the town church St. Georg. The sloping
roofs and timber facades make reference to the architecture of the old
town and the aesthetics and materiality of the sound boxes of musical
instruments. Two components make up the single-storey building: a large main chamber
and a smaller space with chorus room and ancillary rooms. In the
south-east, a deep recess marks the main entrance, the conical foyer
opens to the concourse with a large glass front. The all-round wood laminate cladding gives depth
to the facade of the new concert hall and emphasises its sculptural
building form.
