history
In 1952/53, the architects Etzold, Strobl and Freymuth designed a building that was modern for the time, the congress hall for the event center of Messe München . In its time it was the largest hall of its kind. After the exhibition moved out in 1998, the hall was temporarily used by the Munich Construction Center.
Todays situation
The Edith Haberland Wagner Foundation took over the property in 2004. The foundation restored and refurbished the building in compliance with the provisions of the monument protection . The outdated technology and the suspended ceilings were renewed, and the inner courtyard, which was covered during trade fairs, was exposed. The new planting was based on the original planning of the 1950s.
