Raimund Abraham – Erdbeben der Stille
In the organizer's words:
Exhibition opening: April 13, 2025, 3 pm
Siza Pavilion and House for Musicians, Raketenstation Hombroich
The House for Musicians (planned since 1994, completed 2006-2017) at the Hombroich rocket station near Neuss is one of the two buildings realized in Germany by the Austrian-American architect Raimund Abraham (1933-2010) alongside the residential and commercial building in Berlin's Friedrichstrasse. The extraordinary round building is not only his last completed building, but also exemplifies Abraham's radicalism. In 2003, he also contributed the design for the ambitious and ultimately unrealized Hombroicher Raumortlabor ( Hombroich spatial laboratory), a housing estate with complex reference lines that was to lie in the landscape like an artificial horizon. However, Abraham's drawings and imaginary architectures are almost more significant than the realized buildings. The inclusion of his extensive estate in the Egidio Marzonas Collection (Berlin) now offers the opportunity to comprehensively present the planning and visionary thinking of this outstanding architect with numerous drawings, models, photos and documents as well as the holdings kept in Hombroich.
