Experience Art in the Technical Town Hall Hof with Peter Nürmberger

Discover Hof's Art: Guided Tour through the Technical Town Hall

The Technical Town Hall in Hof transforms into an unusual gallery: Peter Nürmberger leads visitors through a presentation of selected works from the extensive municipal art collection. On October 7, 2026, visitors will gain an informed insight into Hof's art history, focusing on the 20th century.

Experience Art in Public Spaces

The exhibition connects architecture, urban history, and visual arts. Paintings, drawings, and other artistic works enter into a direct dialogue with the spaces of the town hall. The institutional architecture does not provide a neutral background but rather shapes the viewing of artworks through perspectives, light, and spatial effects.

Peter Nürmberger as an Informed Mediator

Peter Nürmberger, long-time director of the cultural office of the city of Hof, has significantly influenced the decoration of the Technical Town Hall with works from the municipal art collection. During the tour, he explains the background of artists, paintings, and his selection. Personal stories and cultural-historical connections offer a lively access to Hof's painting and regional art scene.

A Collection as a Reflection of the City

The municipal art collection preserves works that make visible artist personalities, regional motifs, and different artistic positions. One example is the painting Partial Self-Portrait with View of Maxplatz by Hannsjürgen Lommer from 1966, which is currently on display in the Technical Town Hall. According to the city of Hof, the collection comprises around 6000 works and represents artists as well as motifs from Hof and the region.

Cultural Education through Direct Encounter

The tour makes art history experienceable on-site. Instead of viewing the works solely in a museum context, participants experience their aesthetic impact in a public building used daily. This creates a special art experience between painting, architecture, and municipal cultural work.

Conclusion: Experience Hof's Art History Personally

This tour offers a rare opportunity to get to know the Technical Town Hall as a place of art and to have the Hof art collection explained firsthand. Art enthusiasts can expect a vivid artwork examination with historical contexts, personal stories, and surprising insights into regional art. Participation is free, but registration is required.
