Weiterbauen am Welterbe Mathildenhöhe

A sensitive restoration of the Exhibition Hall at Mathildenhöhe, designed by Art Nouveau architect Joseph Maria Olbrich, successfully balances historic preservation with contemporary integration. The renovation, completed by schneider+schumacher, addressed complex challenges including the building's protected status and its declaration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site during the project. By reintroducing original architectural elements while incorporating modern design, the restoration exemplifies best practices in heritage conservation, ensuring the structure remains both authentic and functional. Published to coincide with the reopening in autumn 2024, this work serves as a case study for preserving iconic monuments without compromising their integrity.
