Alte Kelter
The Alte Kelter stands in Stuttgart, a structure of arches, concrete, stone and a wooden facade. The stone and the wood carry traditional building technique, while the concrete answers with something contemporary. A curved roof spans the whole, giving the silhouette its modern line.
The history of this building begins with wine. Pressing and processing grapes was once the working life of the place. That viticultural thread counts among the cultural heritage of Stuttgart and the region around it. The thoughtful fit of traditional and contemporary practice adds a second draw, this one for anyone interested in design and history.
The building remains a landmark with a firm place in the city's daily life. It settles into its surroundings with ease, and the longer you look, the more of the area's architectural evolution you see. Inside, on a bright day, the daylight shows you what the design intends: spaces that work as well as they look.
