Forum Castrop-Rauxel, Convention center and architectural heritage monument in Castrop-Rauxel, Germany
Forum Castrop-Rauxel is a multipurpose building with several halls and administrative spaces housed in a concrete and glass structure. Architects Arne Jacobsen and Otto Weitling designed a flexible complex with spacious event rooms and functional areas for various uses.
Built in 1966 during the industrial transformation of the Ruhr region, the complex reflects modernization efforts in North Rhine-Westphalia as the area moved beyond coal mining. It became part of the urban renewal that reshaped Castrop-Rauxel.
The building serves as a gathering place where locals hold community events, business meetings, and municipal functions. It reflects how the city brings different groups together in a shared public space.
The building has multiple entrances for easy access, and the main hall accommodates various events throughout the year. Visitors should check what events are scheduled and plan their arrival accordingly.
The Forum's design displays distinctive characteristics from the 1960s and earned it protection as an architectural heritage site. This recognition preserves an important example of modern building design from that era for future generations.
