Festhalle Ilmenau

The Festhalle Ilmenau is an event center at Naumannstraße featuring architecture from the late 1930s. The building contains halls of various sizes and is protected as a cultural monument.

The building opened in 1938 and dates from the pre-war period when such event halls were built in Thuringia. Despite these origins, the venue has established itself as a cultural center over the decades.

This venue has served as a gathering place for local music performances, exhibitions, and community events since its creation. The spaces reflect the social life of the city and demonstrate how Ilmenau has nurtured its cultural offerings over the decades.

The venue sits in the city center and is easy to reach, with ample parking for visitors. The interior spaces offer different capacities for various types of events and are designed to be accessible to guests.

The building has maintained its original facade and interior structure for more than 80 years while remaining an active event venue. This combination of monument protection and living use makes it a rare example of successful preservation.
