Alte Kongresshalle, Convention center in Schwanthalerhöhe, Munich, Germany.
The Alte Kongresshalle is a freestanding building in Munich's Schwanthalerhöhe district with a large event hall and multiple function rooms. The complex offers modern technical systems and equipment designed to accommodate conferences, cultural events, and exhibitions.
Architects Etzold, Strobl, and Freymuth designed this structure in 1952 as one of the era's largest event halls. It formed part of Munich's early fairground development and continues to shape the neighborhood's appearance today.
The building displays typical 1950s design language and today hosts concerts, exhibitions, and public events. People gather here in a space that reflects post-war ambitions while serving contemporary needs.
The venue is easily accessible with ample parking and good connection to the fairground area. The spaces are well-equipped for larger events with modern audio and video technology.
The Edith Haberland-Wagner Foundation undertook a comprehensive restoration in 2004 while preserving the original architectural design. What makes this restoration noteworthy is how the distinctive 1950s form language was maintained despite all modern upgrades.
