Rattenfänger-Halle

Rattenfänger-Halle is a modern event center beside the Weser River in central Hamelin, featuring flexible interior spaces for different types of gatherings. The building has separate zones that can host sporting events and cultural performances at the same time, equipped with current technical systems and adaptable seating layouts.

The venue opened in 1988 and introduced new infrastructure for Hamelin's community gatherings and sporting activities. Its creation was part of a broader development that increased the city's appeal as a host for regional and national events.

The hall is named after Hamelin's legendary Pied Piper, a figure that remains woven into the city's identity and storytelling. Visitors can see how the community uses the space to celebrate both local sports traditions and musical performances that matter to residents.

Visitors will find ample parking nearby and easy access from downtown via the Weser promenade. The hall has entrances at different points, making it simple to reach the correct area depending on the event type.

A curious detail is that the hall was designed so that very different events can happen at the same time without disturbing each other. This makes it a particularly versatile place in a city otherwise known for its historical buildings.
