Turbinenhalle, Industrial heritage monument in Fenne, Germany
The Turbinenhalle is a former machinery building in Völklingen with substantial interior space and robust steel structures. The tall walls and large windows display the industrial craftsmanship typical of early 20th-century design.
The building was constructed in 1926 as part of the Völklingen-Fenne power plant and originally supplied electricity to local industry. When manufacturing declined in the region, it was converted to serve as an events space.
The name references its original turbine machinery and reminds visitors of its role as a power facility. Today people gather here for concerts and events, and the towering ceilings and metal framework keep the industrial past visible and present.
The venue is easily accessible and offers sufficient space for multiple events to happen at the same time. Visitors should arrive early to find parking and locate entrances, giving themselves time to explore the space before the event begins.
The building was renovated in a way that keeps its original technical features visible while hosting modern events and shows. Many visitors notice the preserved machinery parts and pipe systems that have been woven into the new use.
