The Stadthaus Ulm is an assembly hall and art exhibition centre in the city centre of Ulm (Germany). As an international landmark of modern architecture it is a building that encourages encounters with art, people, and culture. At the foot of the famous Ulm Minster, forming both a contrast and a complement to this dominating late-Gothic building, the Stadthaus and Münsterplatz (minster square) were designed by the renowned US architect Richard Meier. == History == For centuries a monastery stood in the square of today’s Stadthaus which was also used as latinschool.〔http://www.ulm.de/sixcms/media.php/29/S-2-3-3.pdf〕〔http://www.ulm.de/kultur_tourismus/stadtgeschichte/.42004.3076,3963,4236,34709,42007,42004.htm Artikel auf www.ulm.de/kultur_tourismus/stadtgeschichte〕 It was finally dismantled in 1878 - shortly before completion of the cathedral - in order to give a free view on the worlds highest spire.〔http://www.bad-bad.de/burda-museum/r_meier_ulm.htm Artikel auf bad-bad.de〕 Thenceforth the design of Ulm’s cathedral square has been subject of heated argument for 105 years and there are records of 17 design competitions, expert opinions and design submissions.〔Ingrid Honold: Der Ulmer Münsterplatz: Wettbewerbe und Projekte zu seiner städtebaulichen und architektonischen Gestaltung.

March 2010〕 It wasn’t until 1986 when Richard Meier’s design was chosen and construction work began in 1991. The decision provoked discussion and hearings throughout the whole city, but in 1987 the population voted in favour of the construction in a referendum.〔Stadt Ulm (Hrsg.): Münsterplatz - Bürgerentscheid am 20.9.87. Reihe: Stadt Ulm. Information, Ulm: Stadt, 1987〕 Construction was finished in 1993 and the Stadthaus opened its gates to the public. The project was completed by the design of the cathedral square. Some people were still sceptical about the architecture because they felt it wouldn't comply with that of the cathedral.〔Mirjam Roller: Diskussionen und Akzeptanz der Neugestaltung des Ulmer Münsterplatzes.
