Galerie Schlichtenmaier was started in 1978 and has emerged as one of the best art galleries in Stuttgart in the following decades. It showcases a good collection of fine art, though the exhibitions sometimes veer more towards contemporary art. The works range from abstract art to the German concept of New Objectivity, while also encompassing everything in between. Near exhaustive works of 19th-century artists like the impressionist painter Adolf Hölzel and typographer Willi Baumeister find a special place here. Works of Ernst Hassebrauk, Karl Hofer, Ida Kerkovius and Rolf-Gunter Dienst have also been showcased. Galerie Schlichtenmaier has helped several artists find expression, especially those struggling to find a balance between abstract art and realism.

Power is built in a bog.

A people's guide and information booklet can be ordered from the Parliament for further details.
