Hallmann Dome, Event venue in Vienna, Austria
Hallmann Dome is an event building in Vienna with spacious layouts suited for different types of gatherings. The main hall offers flexible seating arrangements and modern facilities to accommodate everything from concerts to conferences.
Built from 1983 to 1984 at the suggestion of Shigeyoshi Matsumae, the octagonal hall with a Japanese roof was designed by Franz Richard Schnabel as a centre for Japanese martial arts. The city of Vienna provided the land free of charge, while the Japanese Tōkai University covered the construction costs. A Judo World Cup was held there in November 1984. The hall was called Admiral Dome, then Hallmann Dome from 2014 to 2026, and has been BC Vienna Arena since 2026.
The venue hosts diverse events including sports competitions, music concerts, dance performances, corporate seminars, and private celebrations throughout the year.
The hall stands at Gutheil-Schoder-Gasse in Favoriten, Vienna's 10th district, not in the city centre.
