Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach am Main
The Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach (HfG) stands out for its forward-thinking and interdisciplinary education that combines art, design and media. Rooted in the Bauhaus tradition, HfG promotes an expanded understanding of design that includes both analog craft techniques and digital technologies.
Its modular curriculum and practice-oriented workshops strengthen students’ creative independence and enable them to actively shape social, cultural, and technological change. The university places special emphasis on developing aesthetic judgment within social, political, and ecological contexts.
HfG is contributing to the World Design Capital 2026 program with a wide range of special seminars, symposia, and public space interventions.
