The Halle400 is a convention center and office building in Kiel .

use

Halle400 is one of the largest event centers in Kiel , along with the Sparkassen-Arena , formerly known as the Ostseehalle. With two halls, various other rooms and ancillary rooms, Halle400 offers a wide range of uses. For example, concerts, theater, trade fairs, conferences, weddings, anniversaries and gala events take place here regularly. Due to a modular spatial concept of its four main rooms, Halle400 can be used both as a small, independent location with a separate entrance, and as a large combined event location for music concerts by music groups such as Wir sind Helden , Schandmaul and comedy artists such as Dave Davis and Jürgen Becker . There is also a restaurant with a beer garden in Halle400. The outdoor facility is the second largest in Kiel. In addition, there are offices on several floors.

location

Halle400 is located on the east bank of Kiel on the Hörn . It is located here in the Kai-City Kiel and is only a few minutes' walk from the city center. The street in which Halle400 is located was also named after Halle400.

history

Until 1945

Since 1938 at the latest, the predecessor companies of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW) urgently needed new work and storage space for production for the Navy . The previous hall of Halle400 was built on a fallow site on the Hörn on the area of ​​the Germania shipyard (today's Kai-City Kiel). Halle400 was completed in early 1939. It was as reinforced concrete - skeleton built and was the first Kieler buildings of this type. In addition, the hall had an air raid shelter with a capacity of almost 1500 people. The previous building was used as a coppersmith and tin mill and as a workshop for ship engines and compressors.

1945 to 1991

In the course of the war, almost the entire shipyard area was destroyed, and what was then Halle400 was one of the few buildings that remained. In the following post-war period, HDW used Halle400 until 1989 for the construction of submarines .

1991 until today

However, since the HDW shipyard in the Kiel Fjord moved further and further away from the Hörn until the early 1990s, Halle400 was meanwhile economically and technically unfavorable. HDW therefore sold Halle400 in 1991 to the city of Kiel . The city of Kiel wanted to create a building from Halle400 that included both media and cultural workers. In 1993, a private radio station moved into the previously converted upper floors and began broadcasting. From 1995 to 1998, the Kieler Schauspielhaus then relocated its theater operations to the basement of Hall 400 due to extensive renovation measures in its own premises. For financial reasons, the city of Kiel sold Halle400 to private investors in December 2000. In the period that followed, extensive renovation and renovation work took place again until the reopening in May 2002, during which much of the historical, industrial charm of Hall 400 was retained, including a loading crane from HDW.
