Congresshalle, Multi-purpose concert hall and convention center in Saarbrücken, Germany

Congresshalle is a multi-purpose venue combining a concert hall and convention center in Saarbrücken. The main auditorium holds roughly 1300 seated visitors and up to 1800 standing for concerts, conferences, and events throughout the year.

German architect Dieter Oesterlen designed the building, which opened in 1967 and marked a turning point in Saarbrücken's development. Its construction reflected the city's desire to establish a modern venue meeting international standards for culture and events.

The name points to its origins as a venue for congresses and political gatherings in the 1960s. Today this purpose remains visible in how the spaces are arranged to host meetings and assemblies.

The hall stands on the site of the former Saarkohlehafen coal harbour, next to today's Bürgerpark. A pedestrian bridge, the Kongress-Steg, links it to the Berliner Promenade and the Luisenbrücke; the original 1980s footbridge was demolished in August 2014 and replaced, with the EU contributing 900,000 euros. The forecourt, redesigned in 2002 with water features, is named after Johannes Hoffmann, the Saarland's first minister-president.
