Since the foundation in 1978 the Raab Galerie was located in the centre of Berlin's art world, next to the National Gallery and the new Old Master Paintings Museum (Gem?ldegalerie) near to Potsdamer Platz. Its huge open and accessible space in a Bauhaus building is known since their first exhibitions of german figurative and expressive painters called the "Junge Wilde", like Rainer Fetting, Luciano Castelli, Elvira Bach and Salome.
On the first of March 2002, they moved to a new space at the corner of Kantstrasse and Fasanenstrasse, in the neighbourhood of the Krfürstendamm. The building was built by the German architect J. P. Kleihues, who also built the Chicago Art Museum. The gallery space can be found in the basement of the building with a space of 1200 square meters, which gives us the possibility to hold several exhibitions at the same time, therefor each show can be presented for a longer period of time.
