BASF's after-work house
The BASF Feierabendhaus in Ludwigshafen am Rhein is a public culture and cottage of BASF SE .
history
The building, which was initially called the clubhouse, was planned by Privy Councilor Martin Duller and built in 1913. It is located at Leuschnerstrasse 47 in Ludwigshafen. The corporate headquarters, the former Friedrich-Engelhorn-Hochhaus , and the Friedenskirche are nearby . It has had its current name since 1936. In 1944 it was destroyed to the ground by bombing and only rebuilt in 1956. The after-work house has a floor space of 13,000 m² and also includes a canteen for BASF employees.
The after-work house has been modernized several times; a renovation took place since February 2010; it reopened in November 2011.
Along with the Pfalzbau and the Friedrich-Ebert-Halle, it is one of the three major local event centers.
Cultural event
The approximately 60 events annually are attended by around 60,000 people; the average occupancy is between 80 and 90 percent. The house gets by without public subsidies.
BASF has been involved in the arts and culture since 1921. Initially limited to musical events, events from the fields of dance and visual arts are now also taking place. Well-known artists appeared, such as Richard Strauss with an orchestra in 1929 and Yehudi Menuhin , Carl Orff , Sergiu Celibidache and Anne-Sophie Mutter, and in 2005 Ornette Coleman .
At the reopening on November 26th 2011 the singer Zaz performed and on November 27th 2011 the London Philharmonic Orchestra gave a concert with its conductor Wladimir Jurowski .
