Weimarhalle, Multi-purpose hall in Weimar, Germany.
Weimarhalle is a multi-purpose event venue in Weimar, built with limestone facades and set within a park in the northern part of the city. The building contains several halls of different sizes, each suited for a different type of event, from large concerts to smaller gatherings.
The original building was constructed in 1931 and served the city for decades before being demolished. The current structure was completed in 1999, the year Weimar held the title of European Capital of Culture.
The Weimarhalle serves as a central venue for concerts, theater performances, and large public gatherings in the city. Attending an event there gives a sense of how much of Weimar's public life gravitates toward this part of town.
The venue sits in a park in the northern part of Weimar and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport from the city center. Arriving a little early gives time to walk through the surrounding park before the event starts.
The 1999 building is by Gerkan, Marg und Partner (gmp), not Volker Staab; gmp received the Honor Award 2001 from the United States Institute for Theatre Technology. The main stage now sits on the side opposite the main entrance, and the main hall has no windows, shaped for acoustics.
