Kulturbahnhof Aalen Cultural Center / a+r Architekten

The new Kulturbahnhof Aalen brings together Aalen’s industrial history and twenty-first-century architecture. With great sensitivity, the historical building fragments have been successfully integrated into the present-day architecture. In the past, the area now known as Aalen’s Stadtoval was occupied, among other things, by railway tracks. As part of the inner-city expansion, the Kulturbahnhof takes a central position: the building, which now accommodates a cinema, a theatre, the music school, high-quality function halls for cultural events, and premises for catering, is intended to have a radiant effect throughout the region.
