Visitor and Information Center, Black Forest National Park Ruhestein

The Visitor and Information Centre at Ruhestein, designed by Sturm und Wartzeck, is conceived as an educational hub for the Black Forest National Park. The timber-shingled structure sits low in the landscape, opening through large windows and terraces that create a sense of transparency and connection to its forested surroundings.

Inside, spaces such as the foyer, café, exhibition halls, lecture rooms, and cinema are organized along a central public axis. Within this setting, the REMO wood with metal structure and REMO plastic are combined with the MART round tables, the furniture provides a clear and functional language that complements the natural material palette while supporting the building’s contemporary character.
