Turbinenhalle Oberhausen, Music venue in Oberhausen, Germany

Turbinenhalle Oberhausen is a concert hall in Oberhausen, Germany, housed in a converted industrial building with two separate halls of different sizes. The two rooms are called Turbinenhalle 1 and Turbinenhalle 2, and each is used for performances depending on the type of show and expected audience numbers.

The complex was built in 1909 for the Gutehoffnungshütte (GHH) to generate electricity and compressed air for blast furnace plant Eisenhütte II. After the steel industry withdrew from Oberhausen in the 1980s the hall stood unused, and in 1993 it reopened as a disco. It has been rebuilt several times since and now serves as a concert and event hall.

The venue hosts the electronic dance series Trance Signal twice a year since 2022, with artists such as Nifra, Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Talla 2XLC. It is also a regular venue for the Gelsenkirchen-based wrestling promotion Westside Xtreme Wrestling and for numerous conventions.

The venue sits on Mülheimerstraße directly beside the Duisburg–Dortmund railway line and is a stop on the Ruhrpott Industrial Heritage Trail. The complex holds several rooms of different sizes, so check which hall a given event uses: Turbinenhalle 1 takes around 3,500 people, Turbinenhalle 2 around 1,800. Three nightclubs, T-Club, Steffy and COSMO, are also on site.

The hall retains its industrial appearance with high ceilings and bare walls that give the sound a particular character. This acoustic suits rock and metal concerts well and sets the venue apart from conventional concert halls.
