Architecture + Wine in Rüdesheim
We have new suggestions for Rüdesheim: We would like to invite you to the Georg Breuer Winery in Rüdesheim. In addition to the wine, the interventions of the Austrian Architects CollectiveBy designing a mundane warehouse, they were able to enhance a crossroads and arouse curiosity from afar as to whether there is anything else architecturally to be discovered. The modern design of the wine shop answers this question.
And before that: classic tourist routes by cable car or on foot to the Niederwald Monument. This is now a reminder of happy decades of French-German friendship. Before that, there is a wonderful view of the landscape and the surrounding area - an example of how tourist locations in Germany can be excellently designed. 'The landscape architects‘ have created an attractive and harmonious park, Grabowski Spork Architects for a visitor centre that is beautifully designed and, not least due to the choice of local wood as building material, fits in with the location.

Le Corbusier in Oberhessen (Upper Hesse)
Currently published in the Deutsche Bauzeitschrift, July / August edition, the item 'Le Corbusier in Oberhessen'
The facts are known, but hardly anyone knows them - Le Corbusier in Laubach - which tempts alliteration, but actually it's still about Charles Edouard Jeanneret, who was a guest in Upper Hesse. An interview with Paul-Martin Lied was published in the Giessener Allgemeine Zeitung on May 29, 2021 under the title 'Memory of a Genius'
Through the Geschwister Klipstein Stiftung (Klipstein siblings foundation), which has already brought together a lot about Jeanneret's stays in Laubach, a reading from 'Yesterday and Today' Editha Klipstein, 1948, Laupheim Castle - chapter 'Memories of Le Corbusier' was held in the course of the hr2 culture day on May 30, 2021. Jeanneret's designs for a studio atrium house in Laubach can also be seen in the clip.
