The Kunsthalle (art gallery) in Karlsruhe is one of the early museum buildings of Germany. H�bsch underlines the importance of the building by using touches of grandeur drawn from architectural history and the careful selection of building material. The three-arch doorway motif confers an almost religious aura on the building. H�bsch succeeds in combining forms of German Romanticism and the Italian Renaissance into a new, very modern style.
