Festhalle, Multi-purpose hall in Feuerbach, Germany.
Festhalle is a free-standing hall at Kärntner Straße 46–50 in Stuttgart-Feuerbach, designed by Paul Bonatz and Friedrich Eugen Scholer with Neoclassical and Art Nouveau features. It has a walkable roof terrace linked by a staircase to a lower square, where two small columned structures stand at the entrance. Since 1992 the hall, its gate structures and open areas are protected as a single monument ensemble.
The hall was commissioned by the Feuerbach municipal council alongside a new schoolhouse for the Königliche Realschule, which had around 450 pupils. Paul Bonatz and Friedrich Eugen Scholer designed it, and it was built in 1911 and 1912. It first served in 1912 as an exhibition space for the trade and industry exhibition, later as the community's gymnastics and festival hall. Towards the end of the Second World War it became a French military hospital that also served soup to children.
The hall's name and use recall its double role as a gymnastics and festival hall for the Feuerbach community. Its interior ceiling beams carry ornamental painting by Wilhelm Weigel, and since the 1980–1982 renovation the building has housed club rooms used by local associations for their events.
The hall stands at Kärntner Straße 46–50, not on Steiermärker Straße. It is a free-standing building with a walkable roof terrace reached by an external staircase, which links down to a lower square; two small columned structures mark the entrances to that square.
