Alte Kongresshalle

The Alte Kongresshalle is a cultural and event center in Munich, Germany.

Alte Kongresshalle

History

The architects Etzold, Strobl and Freymuth designed Alte Kongresshalle as part of the Convention Center at Messe München, which was modern for its time, in the years 1952/53. In its day, it was the largest hall of its kind. After the departure of Messe München in 1998, the hall was temporarily used by the Munich Construction Agency.[1]

Current situation

The Edith-Haberland-Wagner Foundation took over the property in 2004. The foundation restored and renovated the building in compliance with the monument protection provisions. The outdated technical components and the suspended ceilings were renewed, and the covered patio that existed during the Messe was exposed. The replanting was based on the original plan from the 1950s.[1]

gollark: It's not like you need most cars to be able to satisfy every eventuality.
gollark: As I sort of said, I think having a personal car around all the time which is designed for really long trips and incurs a lot of expense that way is kind of wasteful.
gollark: It could be done partly manually for now anyway.
gollark: It would be pretty good, though. You could actually replace dying parts (curse nonreplaceable phone batteries!), get upgrades as technology improves, and with eventual infrastructure support swap batteries at stations on roads or something.
