Alter Schlachthof

Alter Schlachthof is a cultural center in Lingen housed in a former slaughterhouse building that contains multiple event spaces. The facility includes a large concert hall, a smaller club venue, pottery workshops, and a mirrored dance room for different purposes.

The building was originally constructed as a traditional slaughterhouse and later completely transformed into a center for cultural and social gatherings. This conversion allowed the structure to become a significant community meeting place.

The venue serves as a gathering place where local artists exhibit their work and perform music regularly. This role has become central to the area's creative community.

The venue is accessible throughout the week for various activities, though some areas may be used differently depending on scheduled events. It helps to check ahead to see what activities are happening to plan your visit appropriately.

The main concert hall can be converted into a skating area when needed, allowing the same space to serve multiple purposes. This dual function shows how creatively the venue adapts to different community needs.
