Konzerthaus Blaibach, Concert hall in Blaibach, Germany.
Konzerthaus Blaibach is a 560-square-metre concert hall completed in 2014 in Blaibach, Upper Palatinate. Its facade is made of individual granite stones, recalling the village's stone-cutting past, and the building sits like a tilted cube embedded in the sloping town centre. Inside, bright glass concrete shapes a hall for 200 listeners, with space on stage for up to 60 musicians.
The building was completed in 2014 under architect Peter Haimerl's direction, establishing itself as a cultural hub since its opening. Its architectural achievement earned recognition with the BDA-Preis Bayern award in 2016.
The hall is named after the village of Blaibach, and its founding was driven by singer Thomas E. Bauer, who has served as intendant since its opening. The building also hosts exhibitions alongside concerts, and in January 2025 Plácido Domingo performed here.
Check the schedule in advance as performance times and operating hours vary depending on the program calendar. Parking is available near the building, making it accessible by car or by public transport from the surrounding area.
The tilted cube form exploits the sloping ground of the village centre, so the hall buries itself in the earth rather than sitting on top of it. Its facade is assembled from individual granite stones, a nod to Blaibach's past as a stonecutters' village. In 2019 Deutsche Post issued a 145-cent stamp showing the building, designed by Armin Lindauer of Mannheim.
