Volkshaus

Volkshaus is a community center in Weimar featuring early 20th-century architectural design by architect Bruno Röhr. The building contains a large assembly hall and multiple rooms suited for events and gatherings of various kinds.

The building was constructed between 1906 and 1908 as a meeting place for social democrats and labor unions during the German Empire. It served as an important venue for political and social discussion in that era.

The name reflects its origins as a gathering place for workers and labor organizations. Visitors today can still sense this communal purpose in the spacious hall design and how the rooms are arranged for gatherings.

The building is centrally located in Weimar and easily accessible on foot. The city is currently working on restoration and redesign to make it available for future events and public activities.

The basement housed band rehearsal rooms and hosted concerts until 2009. This history shows how the building played a role in the local music scene for many decades.
