Mitsubishi Electric Halle, Concert hall in Oberbilk, Düsseldorf, Germany
Mitsubishi Electric Halle is a multi-purpose hall in Oberbilk, Düsseldorf, consisting of four separate event spaces covering approximately 3,900 square meters (42,000 square feet) in total. The building can accommodate up to 7,500 people at once and offers both fixed and flexible areas for different event formats.
The hall opened in 1971 as Philips Halle, named after the Dutch electronics company Philips, which held the naming rights for 40 years. In April 2011, Mitsubishi Electric became the name sponsor, and in September 2022 the contract was extended until 2027. During the 2006/07 season, the arena hosted RheinEnergie Köln's Euroleague basketball games.
The venue takes its name from the Japanese corporation that became its main sponsor in 2011, giving the building an international identity. Visitors see the logo prominently displayed on the facade, while inside the space regularly hosts concerts, trade fairs and sporting events that draw people from across the region.
Visitors arriving by public transport will find Düsseldorf-Oberbilk station very close by, from where several S-Bahn lines and trams run into the city center. For those arriving by car, around 1,800 parking spaces are available around the site, making access easier even during larger events.
The hall's exterior measures 74 metres long, 66 metres wide and 9.40 metres high. Inside, capacity shifts with the setup: up to 7,500 standing, 5,450 with row seating, and 3,950 for indoor sports with a free floor. For the 2006/07 Euroleague season it served as home venue of RheinEnergie Köln.
