Ostwestfalenhalle, Mehrzweckhalle im ostwestfälischen Verl, die als Großmarkthalle geplant war, 1966 eingeweiht
The Ostwestfalenhalle is a large multi-purpose hall in Verl covering about 1820 square meters with a flat, flexible interior space. Built in the 1960s and recently renovated between spring 2023 and summer 2024, the building now features modern lighting, heating, and air conditioning systems, plus a welcoming entrance and updated rooms for various uses.
The hall was built in the 1960s as a multi-purpose venue for the town of Verl. After decades of use, it underwent a major renovation between 2023 and 2024 that modernized the building and ensured its continued function for future events and community gatherings.
The hall serves as a gathering place for the local community, hosting markets, fairs, and celebrations that bring residents together. Events like the monthly Hobby Market create opportunities for people to buy, sell, and connect over shared interests in animals, collectibles, and vintage items.
The hall offers plenty of free parking nearby, including space for larger vehicles like RVs, and is easy to locate using signs or online maps. The flat, accessible interior makes navigation simple, and events occur almost every weekend, allowing visitors to check the schedule in advance to plan their trips.
The Hobby Market, held on the first Saturday of each month, is the largest market of its kind in North Rhine-Westphalia, drawing crowds for animals, toys, and antiques. Children enjoy balloons and face painting while adults hunt for rare collectibles and nostalgic treasures.
