CARMEN WÜRTH FORUM

Designed by British architect David Chipperfield, CARMEN WÜRTH FORUM was opened on 18 July 2017.
Being a part of the Würth Group, CARMEN WÜRTH FORUM is a unique combination of art and culture and economic know-how.

I wanted to raise a monument in my wife’s honor. Carmen and I have been married for 61 years and I am most grateful for every day spent with her. It is a great way to keep her memory alive well beyond our days.

Outstanding architecture

CARMEN WÜRTH FORUM was designed by British architect Sir David Chipperfield. Harmoniously embedded in the Hohenlohe landscape, the building itself captivates the viewer with its timeless elegance. Two supporting walls made of roughened in-situ concrete frame the square in front of the building’s main entrance. Crossing the well-lit entrance hall from the main entrance, visitors can access the Great Hall and Reinhold Würth Hall. David Chipperfield described the building as “a symbol for the coming together of the people beyond their desks, beyond the place of work.” It demonstrates the aspirations of a company that sees its role beyond simple commercial criteria.”In 2017, CARMEN WÜRTH FORUM won the Hugo Häring Prize. The Hugo Häring Prize is awarded by the Baden-Württemberg regional group of the Association of German Architects (BDA) to honor architects and building owners for their joint work to erect outstanding architecture.
