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 club opened in 1992–1993 inside surviving parts of a factory building erected between 1870 and 1874 for the Josef Andre Winder company in the Boden parcel between Dornbirn's centre and the Gütle. Regional performing and visual artists designed the exterior and interior. The bar takes its name from a deceased Dornbirn businessman whose toy shop of the same name traded until the 1980s.
The club takes its name from Conrad Sohm, a Dornbirn businessman whose toy shop on Eisengasse traded until the 1980s; his old shop sign now hangs above the entrance. Run by Hannes Rothmeyer, it hosts DJ sets and concerts, plus small exhibitions, readings and cabaret — Stermann & Grissemann try out new programmes here before touring.
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.
