The Rheinhalle was built in 1982 as the first sports and multi-purpose hall with an attached stage house in Rhineland-Palatinate. Opened in 1983, the hall is home to more than two dozen clubs and is also used intensively for school sports. But it is also a centre for music, cabaret and culture. The hall can seat up to 1450 people, and the grandstand is designed for around 450 spectators. It offers three separable sections, a stage and a retractable grandstand. The foyer is suitable for smaller events with up to 190 visitors. Due to the very good acoustics, the foyer is ideal for classical concerts.
