The Liederhalle Cultural and Congress Center in Stuttgart is a place of rich history and cultural significance. It all began in 1863 when the Stuttgart Singers' Circle's dream of having their own venue came true. With the laying of the first stone of the Liederhalle, a new center for Stuttgart's music scene was born, opening its doors in 1864. Over time, it became not only the home for the Stuttgart Singers' Circle but also one of the most important sources of the local music scene.
The first Liederhalle underwent a significant expansion in 1875 with the creation of a large festive hall, praised for its classical beauty and excellent acoustics. Between 1906 and 1910, during a peak period of art and culture in Stuttgart, the Liederhalle was rebuilt and expanded, becoming the city's cultural and social center.
Sadly, the old Liederhalle was completely destroyed during a bombing raid in 1943, but the Stuttgart Singers' Circle did not give up. A concert in the ruins after the war became a statement for the need for a new concert hall. Indeed, the Liederhalle was rebuilt on the same site ten years after the war and quickly became a landmark. In 1991, Wolfgang Henning expanded the Liederhalle, adding a congress wing, turning it into the modern Cultural and Congress Center it is today.
Today, the Liederhalle is not just a concert hall but an internationally recognized congress center. After 27 years of continuous operation, it was completely renovated to meet modern standards. Special attention was given to fire safety, stage and event technology, as well as building management and network technology.
At the end of 2020, after extensive renovations, the congress area was reopened. Additionally, from December 2020 to July 2021, the Hegel area served as Stuttgart's central vaccination center in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Today, the Liederhalle Cultural and Congress Center stands out as an exceptional combination of a freshly renovated congress area and a heritage-protected architecture. With 14 flexible conference rooms and 5 halls that can accommodate up to 2,100 people, it offers ideal conditions for a variety of events. The halls are not only flooded with daylight but also equipped with globally recognized acoustics and the latest technical equipment.
Its central location in Stuttgart ensures convenience in travel, accommodation, and additional events. The adjacent first-class Maritim Hotel is directly connected to the Cultural and Congress Center Liederhalle and offers 555 stylish rooms and suites. For convenience, several metro and S-Bahn stations, bus stops, and parking garages are nearby.
The adjacent Bosch-Areal with shops, restaurants, clubs, and bars, as well as the entire central part of Stuttgart, offer a variety of options for additional events. Moreover, at the Liederhalle Cultural and Congress Center, sustainability is a daily practice. Measures such as 100% green electricity, regional catering, modern building and climate technology, and a green event service for organizers underline this commitment.
Liederhalle today is a place as fascinating and diverse as its guests - whether for a medical congress, annual meeting, classical concert, or rock concert, it provides the perfect setting for any event.
