Conrad Sohm, Performance venue in Dornbirn, Austria.
Conrad Sohm is a performance venue in Dornbirn, Vorarlberg, housed in a converted industrial building near the Dornbirner Ach river. The interior is flexible and can be arranged with seating for smaller events or opened up as a standing floor for larger concerts.
The building originally served as a power station before being converted into an entertainment venue. Its transformation is part of a broader trend in the region of giving former industrial sites a new purpose.
Conrad Sohm is known for electronic music and experimental concerts, drawing crowds from across the Lake Constance region. On busy nights, the crowd tends to mix local regulars with visitors coming from Switzerland, Germany, and beyond.
The venue sits in a central part of Dornbirn and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. For larger events, arriving early helps you find a good spot before the floor fills up.
The building's ceiling is unusually high, a direct legacy of its original function as a power station, and this height gives the room a sound quality that most purpose-built venues cannot replicate. The raw industrial materials left on the walls also reinforce this effect.
