Hercules Hall, Concert hall in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
Description
Hercules Hall is a concert venue with Neoclassical design located in Munich's old town district, with seating for around 1,450 people and standing room for approximately 180. The space is defined by its formal layout and generous proportions.
History
It was originally created as a throne room for King Ludwig I. After sustaining severe damage during World War II, the space underwent complete reconstruction in the 1950s under architect Rudolf Esterer.
Culture
The hall takes its name from Renaissance tapestries showing the legend of Hercules, which were commissioned in 1565 by Elector Albrecht V. These artworks remain central to how visitors experience the space today.

The hall sits in the heart of the old town and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should check event schedules beforehand to plan their visit accordingly.
