Neues Kurhaus

The Neues Kurhaus is a concert hall in Aachen designed in the neoclassical style with symmetrical proportions and columns framing its stone exterior. Inside, the building contains tiered seating levels and a stage setup suited for orchestral performances and theatrical productions.

The building was completed in 1916 following designs by architect Karl Stöhr, embodying the neoclassical style prominent in that era. It was constructed during a period when Aachen had long been established as a spa destination, and such public venues were considered vital to the city's development.

The name reflects Aachen's tradition as a spa town connected to its historic thermal springs. Today it serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors come together for performances and cultural events throughout the year.

The building is accessible from street level and the interior layout with multiple levels provides good sightlines to the stage from most seating areas. It helps to check in advance what type of event is scheduled, as this will shape your visit and what to expect.

The building serves not only as a concert venue but also stands as a protected architectural monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, recognized for its neoclassical design. This dual purpose makes it a special place where history and contemporary culture intersect.
