1. Vitra Design Campus, Weil am Rhein
For design enthusiasts, you’ll definitely have to visit the Vitra Design Campus located in Weil am Rhein for your Germany trip. The sprawling campus by the Swiss design house features an impressive collection of buildings designed by distinguished architects.
The VitraHaus, for example, is built by Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron. The flagship store houses a vast collection of the brand’s designs including Vitra classics and the latest contemporary products. Another notable building is The Fire Station, which was constructed after a major fire on the site in 1981. Designed by the late British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, the building initially housed a dedicated fire brigade before it was eventually disbanded. The concrete sculpture-like structure stands out from the rest of the buildings on the campus and is currently used as an events and exhibitions space.
