The picturesque museum complex on the moat consists of the Villa Schönfeld, built between 1874 and 1876, and the exhibition hall, which was built 100 years later.
The exhibition was built on the initiative of the Kunstverein to plans by the architect Dieter Oesterlen. Since 1976, the Kunstverein has presented three to four art exhibitions and several art-historical lectures each year. The Municipal Museum uses the extension for historical exhibitions.
The villa, commissioned by the textile entrepreneur Heinrich Schönfeld, moved into the Städtisches Museum in 1941 with a permanent exhibition on the history of the city.
