Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle, Indoor sports arena in Prenzlauer Berg, Germany.

The Werner-Seelenbinder-Halle contained multiple levels with a central performance space and could accommodate up to 10,000 spectators for various events.

The structure opened in 1950 in East Berlin, transforming a former cattle market hall into a significant venue for sports and political gatherings.

From 1970 to 1990, the facility hosted the annual Festival of Political Songs and numerous international music performances, including Depeche Mode in 1988.

The arena served as a central meeting point for East German organizations until 1976, when the Palast der Republik took over this function.

The venue honored Werner Seelenbinder, a German wrestling champion who resisted the Nazi regime and was executed in 1944 at Brandenburg-Görden Prison.
