Rothenbach-Halle

Rothenbach-Halle, multi-purpose hall in Kassel, Germany

The Rothenbach-Halle is a multi-purpose hall of Messe Kassel, built in 2007 from 150 precast concrete parts weighing 810 tonnes. Its ceiling uses 500 m³ of glued laminated timber with a 60 m span, giving a clear height of 10 m. The event floor measures 80 m × 60 m, and the hall seats 4,200 or holds 5,000 standing.

Construction of the Rothenbach-Halle began on 21 March 2007, the topping-out ceremony followed on 1 June, and the hall opened on 7 October 2007. It was completed for handball use at Christmas 2007. After 4,300 tickets for the MT Melsungen match against THW Kiel sold out in 55 minutes, the club made the hall its permanent home venue from 26 December 2007.

The hall's name comes from the Rothenbach stream, not a street. Since 26 December 2007 it has been the home venue of the MT Melsungen handball club. The first match against THW Kiel sold out 4,300 tickets in 55 minutes, prompting the club to move all home games there.

The hall sits on the Messe Kassel grounds; the 4,800 m² event floor measures 80 m by 60 m, with 900 m² of foyer and side rooms, and the building can be fully darkened. The operator invested 4.8 million euros without public subsidies. The hall holds 5,000 people unseated and 4,200 seated.

The first handball match at the Rothenbach-Halle was planned as a one-off, but all 4,300 tickets for the game against THW Kiel sold out in 55 minutes, prompting MT Melsungen to move all home games there. During the 2008 European Handball Championship, the hall served as a public viewing venue.
