Konzerthaus Freiburg, concert hall and convention centre in Freiburg im Breisgau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Konzerthaus Freiburg is a concrete performance and convention center located in the heart of the city, hosting concerts, conferences, and diverse gatherings. Its main hall, the Rolf-Böhme-Saal, accommodates over one thousand people, while additional specialized rooms and a spacious foyer provide flexibility for different types of events.
The building opened in 1996 following designs by architect Dietrich Bangert, replacing an earlier venue completed in 1854 that was destroyed during the Second World War. Its construction followed decades of discussion about creating a modern facility to meet the city's growing needs.
The hall is named after organist Rolf Böhme, whose legacy is reflected in the main performance space. Rotating sculptures by Andrea Zaumseil at the entrance represent music and rhythm, creating a welcoming presence for visitors.
The venue is easily accessible by public transport, car, or train and sits centrally near cafes and shops. The building is wheelchair accessible and features spacious hallways and balconies where visitors can gather before events.
Initial acoustic challenges led to the installation of adjustable circular panels above the stage that significantly improved sound quality throughout the hall. This practical adjustment demonstrates how the space was continuously refined to meet performers' needs.
