Forum Alte Werft

The Forum Alte Werft contains a main hall with 900 seats, a theater with 240 seats, an art school, and a municipal gallery in converted industrial buildings.

The center occupies the former Meyer Werft shipyard facility, which operated until 1992 when the shipbuilding company relocated to a larger location in Papenburg.

The venue presents a mix of musicals, concerts, theater performances, exhibitions, and conferences while maintaining visible elements of its industrial maritime past.

The facility maintains variable opening hours based on scheduled events, with free parking available on site and convenient access from Papenburg train station.

Original shipbuilding machinery remains integrated throughout the building complex, creating a connection between the maritime industrial heritage and current cultural activities.
