Johanniterhalle (Würth Old Masters)
Johanniterhalle
A gallery converted from a church of the Order of St John. Its star piece is Hans Holbein the Younger's Darmstadt Madonna.
The Johanniterhalle was once the medieval church of the Order of St John. After restoration, it became the Würth collection's Old Masters gallery, facing the Kunsthalle across the river.
Its most important work is Hans Holbein the Younger's famous Darmstadt Madonna (also known as the Madonna of Mayor Meyer). Würth acquired it in 2011, and it is one of the high points of German Renaissance painting. The gallery also displays works by Cranach and other masters of southern Germany from the 15th and 16th centuries.
Admission is free. The space is small, and a visit takes about 40 minutes. It's located beside the Henkersbrücke (Executioner's Bridge).
Opening hours
