Hercules Hall, Concert hall in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
The Hercules Hall features Neoclassical architecture with grand proportions, accommodating 1,450 seated guests and 180 standing attendees within its formal structure.
Originally designed as a throne room for Ludwig I, the hall underwent reconstruction in the 1950s under architect Rudolf Esterer following extensive wartime damage.
The concert venue takes its name from Renaissance tapestries depicting the tales of Hercules, commissioned in 1565 by Elector Albrecht V.
The performance space, situated at coordinates 48.1417, 11.5786, serves as a primary location for classical music concerts and cultural gatherings in Munich.
Before the establishment of the Philharmonie am Gasteig, this hall served as Munich's central concert venue, replacing the former Klenze's Odeon.
