The Helmut List Hall is a multi-purpose event hall in Graz .
The hall, named after Helmut List, was an AVL List factory hall that was ready for demolition until 2002 and was rebuilt in 2003. After four months of planning and ten months of construction, the Helmut List Hall was inaugurated on January 9, 2003 with the scenic premiere of the work Begehren by Beat Furrer , thus opening the 2003 year of Graz, the Capital of Culture .
One of the reasons for the renovation was that there was no large concert hall of international standard in Graz until then, but it was needed for events such as the Styriarte and the Styrian Autumn Festival . This gap has been closed with this hall with good acoustics and sufficient capacity.
The Helmut List Hall consists of three parts: foyer, hall and backstage area. The foyer is almost 36 meters long, 14 meters wide and 14 meters high. It has an area of around 550 m². The hall is almost 45 meters long, about 23 meters wide and 12 meters high. The area is around 1100 m². The backstage area is almost 28 meters long and 15 meters wide. It has an area of approximately 350 m². The entire hall complex, i.e. the foyer, hall and backstage area together, is 113 meters long, 34 meters wide and 15 meters high.
construction
The task was to use the industrial hall from the 1950s sustainably by means of gentle renovations, to develop the urban area socially and to create a concert hall of particularly high acoustic quality. Architect Markus Pernthaler used glass , concrete , steel and wood .
In the west view at the entrance and with the roof of the large foyer, large parts of the transparent industrial hall - newly glazed - are still visible.
The interior of the central concert hall itself is made of solid wood and steel, with a laminated timber construction as the ceiling, designed in such a way that vibration behavior and damping - in combination with upholstered chairs - allow high sound quality. The outer walls and the floor each consist of several shells in order to insulate the transmission of airborne and floor- borne noise , for example from the directly adjacent Graz main train station, but also to the outside. There is always a series of 2 doors between the outside and inside. Corridors end at an acute angle to reduce noise, crank latches allow doors to fall gently into the lock to keep noise to a minimum. This enables high quality sound recording.
In the south, the technical center - clad in solar cells - is built in front, and furthermore a car park that ensures sunbathing, in the - cool - north, however, the rooms for catering.
In the backstage area in the east - with a large gate to the outside - there is not only the building services but also the sound studio for sound and live recordings.
Finally, there are seminar rooms and cloakrooms on the upper floor.
Photovoltaics
On the south side of the Helmut List Hall, 350 translucent solar modules with a total of 370 m² and a peak output of 35 kWp form a vertical design element. At the time of commissioning (January 2003) one of the largest facade-integrated photovoltaic systems in Austria was awarded the 2004 solar prize. The plant is built and operated by Stadtwerke Hartberg through 2 of its subsidiaries: Of the project costs of € 216,000, € 96,000 was financed by a contracting model from Ökoplan, which operates the plant at its own risk and with monitoring. 120,000 euros in funding came with support from the EU community initiative Urban II (2000–2008) for the development of urban areas with special need for action from the city of Graz via the urban development concept “Urban_Link Graz-West” and from the state of Styria.
The technical planning, the production of the solar modules and the execution of the installation were carried out by KW-Solartechnik, Graz. Around 26,000 kWh of electrical energy are supplied to the public grid every year.
Prehistory of the hall
In 1899 a bridge building and forging company located here was bought by the Viennese blacksmith Waagner, which merged with the blacksmith J. Biró & A. Kurz, Hirschstetten in 1905. In 2002 the hall was built on the simple, prismatic factory hall IX of Waagner-Biro AG, which was made of riveted steel profiles and glass and had already withdrawn from the Graz location. The company name Waagner-Biro, which has been in use since 1924, lives on - without an accent on the "o" - in the name of the street parallel to the railway in front of the hall.
The mobile telescopic grandstands were supplied by Waagner-Biro Stage Systems (Waagner-Biro Austria Stage Systems AG), which means that Waagner-Biro has returned to the hall with stage technology.
