WDC Pavilion tour

WDC Pavilion in Offenbach

On 27 May 2026, the WDC Pavilion will travel to Offenbach. The WDC team is looking forward to your visit.

During our stay, a diverse program awaits you — including the Constructlab network residency. Starting June 10, 2026, Grit Koalick and Jan Stricker invite you to join them on “Cloud Nine?”. As part of their residency Design Public Spaces, a city grows beneath the cloud. The places, stories, and wishes of passers-by become building blocks for a collective and ever-growing image of Offenbach. Daytime workshops invite everyone to actively participate. From 6:00 pm onwards, the Dream Bar opens. The tables and paddles of Ping Pong Park are freely available — come by and join in!
