Stahlpalast, Multi-purpose event hall in Brandenburg an der Havel

Stahlpalast is a multi-purpose hall in the Quenzsiedlung of Brandenburg an der Havel, directly next to the Stadion am Quenz. It was rebuilt from the earlier Sporthalle am Quenz, also known as Stahlhalle, into a venue for events. The hall now hosts billiards competitions, including European pool championships in 2006 and 2011 and carom championships in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019.

The Stahlhalle was built as the competition venue of BSG Stahl Brandenburg, the works sports club of the Brandenburg steel and rolling mill, on the sports complex that also holds the Stadion am Quenz. During the GDR era it hosted several handball internationals, including three 1974 World Championship preliminary matches in Group C. After handball declined in the 1990s, the hall was rebuilt as the multi-purpose Stahlpalast.

The name Stahlpalast refers to the steel industry that shaped the town and led to the original sports center being built. Today, local groups and the community use the hall regularly for gatherings, concerts, and meetings, making it a place where residents come together.

The hall is centrally located on Magdeburger Landstraße and is easy to reach by car or public transportation. Parking is available nearby, and access is straightforward since the venue sits next to the Stadion am Quenz, making orientation simple for first-time visitors.

The building was the site of a historically significant citizen participation event in 1989 when about 3000 people gathered to discuss national changes with government officials. This made the hall a place where important moments of local history took place before it later transformed into a multipurpose center.
