Jahrhunderthalle Bochum Concerts 2025

Creative art space with stunning old structure of industrial buildings

Historic site, stunning place for theatre and music and even amazing for the occasional dance party or rave. This 19th century manufacturing facility was once the German Expo Pavilion in Paris and was transported back to Bochum, today it serves as a multi purpose place for events. Located in a nice park with a beautiful bridge and a lot of industrial flair this place isn't to be missed.

Die Jahrhunderthalle ist wirklich sehr schön, sie bieten auch immer sehr schöne Veranstaltungen an auf jedenfall Besuchen. PROJECTS JAHRHUNDERTHALLE BOCHUM MAIN VENUE FOR THE RUHRTRIENNALE The former Gas Power Centre of the cast steel company „Bochumer Verein für Bergbau und Gußstahlfabrikation“, an industrial listed building from the year 1903, was reconstructed at the beginning of the millennium to a concert hall and extended by a large foyer and a cloakroom building. The historic construction could be sensitively toughened by means of continually cambered cables. The installation of a structural heating screed provided intelligent strengthening for the basement slabs. The new building construction of steel was abutted on an old external wall and suspended via the toughened cables on the existing construction. The extension of this protected, sophisticated structure with almost fully utilised components required an extremely cautious distribution of the additional forces in the old structure. DIETGER WEISCHEDE COMPANY FOUNDER Thanks to the ingenious structural framework planning, only a few parts of the old structure had to be strengthened. This resulted not only in a very economical solution, but also appealed especially because of the barely recognisable intrusion in the old, listed basic structure of the building. The Jahrhunderthalle Bochum is the main venue for the international cultural festival „Ruhrtriennale“ since the completion of the reconstruction in 2003 CLIENT LEG NORDRHEIN-WESTFALEN ARCHITECT PETZINKA PINK ARCHITEKTEN, DÜSSELDORF LOCATION BOCHUM, GERMANY COMPLETION 2003 AWARDS DEUTSCHER STAHLBAUPREIS 2004 - AUSZEICHNUNG BALTHASAR NEUMANNPREIS 2004 - ENGERE WAHL BDA AUSZEICHNUNG GUTER BAUTEN 2004
