Location

Schwarzwaldhalle

It was the first hall in Europe to be built with a self-supporting suspended roof made of prestressed concrete. Inaugurated on 29 August 1953, it offers 2575 square metres of space in its column-free oval for your congresses, concerts, presentations and exhibitions.

Sound absorbing curtains and acoustic skies allow you to enjoy the best sound quality for classical, pop and spoken word.

The direct connection to the Garden Hall allows you to combine exhibition halls with a total of 10,500 sqm.
