Otto-Haesler-Stiftung

The Otto-Haesler-Stiftung is a foundation based in Celle, Germany, dedicated to preserving and promoting the architectural legacy of Otto Haesler, one of the most important architects of the New Building (Neues Bauen) movement in Germany. Haesler shaped the townscape of Celle like few others; his housing estates, school buildings, and residential houses set standards for modern, social housing in the 1920s and 1930s. The foundation maintains this architectural heritage, making it accessible through a museum and the Otto Haesler circular trail (otto haesler rundweg), thereby strengthening awareness of modernity in building culture. The foundation's work focuses on the unique density of New Building architecture in Celle, which can be experienced over short distances—from the Italian Garden through the Georgsgarten and the Blumläger Feld to school and directors' buildings. The foundation operates a museum and a trail, and its website serves as an information hub. It is a non-profit cultural heritage organization, not a commercial enterprise, but it functions as a brand in the cultural tourism and heritage sector.

The Otto-Haesler-Stiftung is a foundation established to preserve and promote the architectural legacy of Otto Haesler in Celle, Germany. Otto Haesler was one of the most important architects of the New Building (Neues Bauen) movement in Germany, and he shaped the townscape of Celle like hardly any other architect.

In Celle, the New Building can be experienced uniquely densely over short distances: from the Italian Garden through the Georgsgarten and the Blumläger Feld to school and directors' buildings. The foundation maintains this architectural heritage, makes it accessible in a museum and on the Otto Haesler circular trail (otto haesler rundweg), and thus strengthens awareness of modernity in building culture. The foundation's work is rooted in Haesler's own conviction, as expressed in a quote from 1961: 'The love for old art must never be greater than for new art, because otherwise the art of our time will be withheld from people unnecessarily long.' The foundation operates a museum and a trail, and its website serves as an information hub. It is a non-profit cultural heritage organization.

Cultural heritage foundation and museum focused on Otto Haesler and Neues Bauen in Celle.
