STUTTGART CITY LIBRARY

The Central Library on Mailänder Platz is one of the most modern libraries in Europe. It offers an extensive selection of over 500,000 media, including original prints to borrow and a sound studio with electronic instruments. It also houses the workshop of the Buchkinder Stuttgart. The architecture of this library, designed by Eun Young Yi, impresses people from all over the world.

  The city library on Mailänder Platz in the heart of Stuttgart is an impressive building that impresses both during the day and at night. The glass cube radiates a simple elegance and turns into a blue light sculpture in the dark that attracts attention. The library is considered one of the most beautiful in the world and has become a popular photo motif in Stuttgart. Libraries not only have a wealth of knowledge, but are also architectural masterpieces. This also applies to the minimalist building of the city library on Mailänder Platz in Stuttgart, which was opened in 2011. The square building extends a proud 40 metres into the air and impresses with its grey concrete façade and matt glass. These materials lend the building a certain roughness. Inside the library, on the other hand, visitors can expect a gleaming white environment – from the walls to the floor to the stairs. This creates a feeling of lightness, clarity and calm. A visit to the Stuttgart City Library is worthwhile! The building is architecturally exceptional both inside and out.
