A glance at the modern world: Carl Grossberg in Würzburg
On November 3, 2026, the Museum im Kulturspeicher Würzburg invites you to the exhibition Carl Grossberg. Objective – Magical – Visionary. The retrospective is dedicated to one of the most well-known representatives of New Objectivity and combines precise city views, impressive industrial images, and visionary pictorial worlds into a concentrated event experience.
Architecture, Industry, and the Magic of Things
Carl Grossberg (1894–1940) engaged intensively with architecture, technology, and industry. His clearly constructed, deserted views appear objective and orderly at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, a mysterious, almost otherworldly atmosphere emerges. This contrast characterizes the tour through the exhibition.
Würzburg from Grossberg's Perspective
A special connection to the region arises through Grossberg's Franconian motifs. The artist lived most of his artistic life in Sommerhausen, Lower Franconia, after studying at the Bauhaus. Würzburg can also be found in his work: The motif Bridgehead at the Old Main Bridge in Würzburg serves as the poster motif for the exhibition.
Exhibition Experience in the Kulturspeicher
The presentation in the Museum im Kulturspeicher combines art historical context with immediate visual impact. Visitors experience an exhibition about technology, work, urban development, and the tensions of the modern world. Multimedia offerings, an app tour, a playlist, and accompanying events enhance the classic museum encounter.
For event planning, regular admission is set at 5 euros, 3 euros reduced, and free admission for children and teenagers up to 18 years. The museum is open on Tuesdays from 1 PM to 6 PM and Wednesdays to Sundays from 11 AM to 6 PM.
Conclusion: Art between Order and Vision
The exhibition showcases Carl Grossberg as a painter between New Objectivity, technical fascination, and enigmatic image poetry. Those interested in modern art, architecture, industrial history, and Würzburg's cultural perspectives will experience a multifaceted museum evening in the Kulturspeicher. A visit on site makes it clear how contemporary Grossberg's images still feel almost a century later.
