The former depot and train shed is a steel construction regarded as a jewel among Munich's event locations due to its special architectural features. The listed industrial structure was commissioned by King Ludwig III and built by Krupp between 1916 and 1918. At first it was a press shop for an artillery factory, then a boiler shop for the Reichsbahn and after that a maintenance and train repair depot for the Bundesbahn up until 1995. It is this industrial past that gives the present-day cultural hall an exceptional atmosphere and a special charm all of its own.

With a usable space of around 4,200 m², the hall can be partitioned using the hall crane and is licensed to hold a maximum of around 6,000 persons; the existing staircase can be individually positioned at the front on the left, right or in the middle. The Zenith is 39 m wide and 74 m long, and features direct access for cars and trucks/tractor units.

The stage is 27 m wide, 16.50 m deep and 1.50 m high. There are 10 backstage rooms fitted with basic furnishings: 5 smaller rooms with a view into the hall and 5 larger ones, all on the 1st floor with direct access to the stage and a separate outside door.

Built as a coal storage facility for the Reichsbahn, work on conversion to an out-of-the-ordinary event hall began in autumn 2015 – today it combines an impressive history with modernity.

The outstanding combination of old stone walls with clear signs of wear from its time as a coal bunker with the glass construction above gives the guest the impression of being out in the open air. Especially when combined with the "Kesselhaus", the location displays a high level of functionality.

The Kohlebunker is between 14 m and 20 m wide, 60 m long and provides around 1,000 m² of usable space; it can also be divided into separately usable areas:

• Main hall: 519 m²

Designed by the architects Theodor Fischer and Otto Ernst Schweizer at the beginning of the last century, the heavy steel-frame construction was designed for heavy loads and still makes a great impression today.

Parts of the boiler installation and the old chimney have been preserved in their original condition and have withstood a lot during almost one hundred years of Kesselhaus history: despite severe bomb damage during the 2nd World War, it did its job for almost 70 years – until it was finally closed in 1995.

However, the Kesselhaus not only has a fascinating history in its own right but also played a decisive role in shaping the Freimann district: as the factory's power house, it was the starting point for the rapid industrial and urban development in this northern part of Munich.

The Kesselhaus is around 20 m wide and over 50 m long with a usable area of 900 m². Backstage there are two further rooms in the neighbouring building. The hall has ground-level access for cars. There are currently around 700 parking spaces at the site. It has WiFi (50 Mbit download, 10 Mbit upload); a second, separate line can be connected.

Area:

• approx. 900 m² usable space

Capacities/Permitted No. of Persons:

• Maximum: 1,300
• Row Seating: 680
• Banquet Seating: approx. 450
