The Kaim Hall , later known as the Tonhalle , was a concert hall in Munich- Maxvorstadt .

history

The Louis Seize style building was built in 1895 by the architect Martin Dülfer , renamed Tonhalle in October 1905 and destroyed by aerial bombs in the Second World War during the air raids on Munich in 1944. The hall was one of the first venues of today's Munich Philharmonic , founded by Franz Kaim in 1893 under the name Kaim-Orchester.

On June 25, 1903, a partial premiere of Arthur Schnitzler's Reigen took place in the hall : The Academic-Dramatic Association had scenes IV to VI performed in a closed member event and was subsequently dissolved by the University's Senate.

Whitsun 1907, the Kaim-Saal was the venue of the “Munich Congress” of the Theosophical Society , which initiated Rudolf Steiner's separation from this association. On the afternoon of August 28, 1913, the world's first eurythmy performance took place in the Kaim Hall .

Thomas Mann referred to the concert hall in a letter to his future wife Katia Pringsheim in May 1904 and wrote:

"Strangely enough, it is almost always the Kaimsaal where I see you - which is because I used to often watch you there through the opera glasses before we knew each other."

In the place of the building at Türkenstrasse 5 there is now an office building with the headquarters of the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Association.
