Hella Jongerius: Whispering Things
14.03.2026 – 06.09.2026
Seit über 30 Jahren ist Hella Jongerius eine der prägendsten Persönlichkeiten des zeitgenössischen Designs. Ihre wegweisenden Arbeiten reichen von Textilien und Keramik über Möbel und Lampen bis hin zu skulpturalen Werken. Mit ihrem forschungsbasierten Gestaltungsansatz wurde Jongerius zum Vorbild für eine ganze Generation junger DesignerInnen. Die Ausstellung ist die erste Retrospektive über das Gesamtwerk der niederländischen Designerin, die unter anderem mit Maharam, KLM, Camper und Vitra zusammenarbeitete. Das Archiv ihres Designstudios JongeriusLab ist seit 2024 im Vitra Design Museum beheimatet. Die darin enthaltenen Objekte und Dokumente geben Einblicke in Jongerius‘ Arbeitsweise, ihr vielschichtiges Denken, ihre Leidenschaft für handwerkliche Prozesse und ihre intensive Auseinandersetzung mit Materialität und der Symbolik der Dinge. Dabei geht die Leidenschaft für Handwerk und Farbe stets mit einem klaren Bewusstsein für das große Ganze einher. Der Katalog zur Ausstellung umfasst auch eine Dokumentation des Jongerius-Archivs am Vitra Design Museum.

Die Ausstellung wird unterstützt durch den Globalen Sponsor Maharam, den Sponsor Camper und die IKEA Stiftung.

Hella Jongerius: Whispering Things
14.03.2026 – 06.09.2026
Hella Jongerius is among the most influential designers of the past decades. Since the start of her career in the 1990s, she has created groundbreaking works in many different disciplines, including textiles, ceramics, furniture, lighting, and sculpture. Jongerius’ research-driven approach has been a defining influence for an entire generation of young contemporary designers. The exhibition is the first retrospective of Jongerius’ oeuvre and will explore all phases of her work, including her famed collaborations with Maharam, KLM, Camper and Vitra. It is based on Jongerius’ studio archive, acquired by the Vitra Design Museum in 2024. The centre stage, though, goes to the methods of JongeriusLab – layering ideas, drawing connections, emphasising materiality, exposing process, and researching deeply, with a dedication to craft, colour, and cosmic thinking. The exhibition is accompanied by a major publication, including a documentation of the Jongerius archive at the Vitra Design Museum.

The exhibition is supported by Global Sponsor Maharam, Sponsor Camper, and the IKEA Stiftung.

Er ließ Stühle von der Decke schweben und schuf organische Wohnlandschaften, die bis heute faszinieren: Der dänische Architekt und Designer Verner Panton (1926–1998) prägte das Design der Nachkriegszeit wie kaum ein anderer. Sein Geburtstag jährt sich 2026 zum 100. Mal. Aus diesem Anlass widmet das Vitra Design Museum ihm eine große Ausstellung im Vitra Schaudepot, die Pantons Schaffen in seiner ganzen Vielfalt zeigt – von ikonischen Entwürfen wie dem »Panton Chair« über Leuchten und Textildesigns bis hin zu seiner wenig bekannten Architektur. Eine begehbare Rekonstruktion der legendären »Fantasy Landscape« (1/8) 1970, macht Pantons revolutionäres Raumverständnis und den Aufbruchsgeist jener Zeit unmittelbar erfahrbar. Die Ausstellungsgestaltung verwandelt seine skulpturalen, farbstarken Welten in ein immersives Erlebnis. Grundlage der Schau bildet die umfangreiche Verner Panton-Sammlung im Vitra Design Museum, die zu den bedeutendsten ihrer Art zählt und eine einzigartige Fülle von Objekten, Zeichnungen, Modellen und Archivalien umfasst. Die Werkschau, die in enger Zusammenarbeit mit der Verner Panton Design AG entsteht, lädt dazu ein, einen großen Designer neu zu entdecken – zwischen Pop, Utopie und organischen Farbwelten.

He made chairs float from the ceiling and created organic living landscapes that continue to fascinate us today: the Danish architect and designer Verner Panton (1926–1998) shaped post-war design like few others. To celebrate the centenary of his birth, the Vitra Design Museum will dedicate a major exhibition at the Vitra Schaudepot to Panton’s work. Showcasing the full breadth of his creative output – from iconic pieces like the »Panton Chair« to his lighting and textile designs – it will also feature several of his little-known architectural projects. A walk-in reconstruction of the legendary »Fantasy Landscape« (1/8) 1970, brings Panton’s revolutionary understanding of space and the spirit of the era vividly to life. The exhibition design transforms his sculptural, colour-rich worlds into an immersive experience. The show is based on the extensive Verner Panton Collection at the Vitra Design Museum, which is one of the most important of its kind and comprises a unique wealth of objects, drawings, models and archival materials. The exhibition, created in close collaboration with Verner Panton Design AG, invites visitors to rediscover a visionary designer – between Pop, utopia, and organic worlds of colour.

"One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect."

Thus begins Franz Kafka's narrative "The Metamorphosis," in which the main character suddenly no longer fits into his old life.

What happens when he cannot show up for work? How does his family react to his metamorphosis? And what remains of a person when he no longer "functions"?

The youth club approaches Kafka's text in their own production about alienation, belonging, and the search for identity in a society that constantly demands performance – complemented by personal texts from the club participants, who translate Kafka's motifs into our present.

In the old town with its medieval squares and winding alleys, charming half-timbered houses stand alongside representative buildings from the time of the Reichskammergericht, shaping the cityscape. Johann Wolfgang Goethe stayed in Wetzlar in the summer of 1772. His experiences inspired the poet to his first major literary success, the epistolary novel "The Sorrows of Young Werther". Also fascinating is the unfinished gothic cathedral, which reflects a piece of the city's history through its combination of Romanesque and Gothic style elements.

Duration: 1.5 hours

Out of the blue, "Der Fuchs" is throwing a premiere on the Stalburg stage: Their Canadian format "15 Minutes of Fame!"

The idea is quite simple: Everyone is welcome to come and watch, but our players on stage can only be people from the audience who have never played improv before!

Crazy? No. It works. Because we have many years and over 2000 shows of experience, meaning you can relax and get into the situation. You don't have to be particularly funny, intelligent, or quick-witted on stage; you can just be there. And then we'll enjoy the time together. We are really looking forward to it!

Doors open: 7 PM

The season ticket includes all home games of the Schwäbisch Hall UNICORNS.

The delivery of the season tickets will be handled by your team manager/coach or youth leader.

Extended season tickets remain valid and will not be issued as a new plastic card.

Not only humans, but also artificial intelligences are now waging wars. Have we already lost control over our technology?

Technology threatens to surpass humanity – with this diagnosis, Günther Anders begins his main work "The Oblivion of Man" in 1956. But to what extent is technology "our destiny," its functioning "dark," and its effect "subliminal," as Anders writes? What he formulated for nuclear technology applies to AI in an intensified form: Its use is deemed imperative, its logic is understood only by the initiated, and the consequences for the future of humanity and the climate exceed our emotional capacities.

So it is high time to ask: What tasks does technological development pose for human development? For one thing is certain: We can neither teach technology morality nor can we rid ourselves of it.

On this evening, two of the most significant scholars in the humanities of our time, Aleida Assmann and Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, come together for a special conversation. How does our view of the past shape our ability to engage with the future? Are we living with an "excess" of memory – or is persistent remembering a prerequisite for democratic responsibility? To what extent do the concepts of the present and memory differ in Europe and the USA? A pointed exchange on memory as a burden, resistance against forgetting, and a foundation for a consciously shaped future.

Prof. Dr. Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht is a Romanist, literary scholar, and publicist. His work on European literature and intellectual history as well as aesthetics has shaped international debates. In 2026, his book Sepp. My Life at Half-Distance will be published.

Prof. Dr. Aleida Assmann is an Anglist, Egyptologist, and literature and cultural scientist. She has taught at institutions including Yale, Princeton, and Chicago. Together with her husband Jan Assmann, she coined the term "cultural memory."

We are in the year 1776. Accompany Cornelia Schlosser, the younger sister of Johann Wolfgang Goethe, on her walk through her hometown Emmendingen. Listen to the astonishing life story of this talented young woman who is on the brink of breaking under her fate and learn more about her complicated relationship with her famous brother.

We want to start a youth choir for singing enthusiasts! The project is about bringing people together through singing. What exactly we will sing, how difficult it will be, whether we will do more choir pieces or pieces with many solo passages, depends on what you want to do.

Anyone who wants to sing together and take the first steps in vocal training is warmly welcome. Age group 12 - 18 years.
