Alfred-Fischer-Halle, Heritage venue in Hamm, Germany.
The Alfred-Fischer-Halle is an event venue in Hamm featuring brick expressionist architecture with classical design elements. A temple-like entrance staircase marks the arrival, while the main event space spans around 3,000 square meters and includes modern seminar rooms and a restaurant.
The building was constructed in 1914 as a machinery hall for the Sachsen coal mine in Heessen and remained standing after the mine closed in 1976. This industrial structure then found new purpose as an event venue.
Today it hosts trade fairs, music concerts, theater performances, and conferences that shape the city's cultural life. People from the region gather here for diverse events throughout the year.
The venue is designed for various events and includes seminar rooms and dining options for visitors. Staff can help with navigation and explaining the building layout.
Between 2015 and 2024, the building served unexpected purposes as a refugee accommodation center and later as a municipal COVID-19 testing facility. This flexibility reveals how industrial heritage can adapt rapidly to changing community needs.
