Blaibach concert hall
The Blaibach Konzerthaus is located in Blaibach in the Bavarian Upper Palatinate . The concert hall was built in 2014 according to plans by the Munich architect Peter Haimerl . It is also known as "the Blaibach miracle".
The Munich architect Peter Haimerl had previously converted the “Blue House” into a community center for the community. In addition to the community center and the concert hall, the Waidlerhaus, which is a listed building, was renovated by Peter Haimerl and heavily changed inside. The 560 square meter building offers space for classical concerts, cultural events and exhibitions.

architecture
Outside space
The facade consists of individually assembled granite stones and is reminiscent of Blaibach's roots as a stone farming village. The sloping topography of the center of the village is exploited by digging the concert hall into the earth like a tilted cube.
inner space
The concert hall offers space for 200 listeners and up to 60 musicians can be accommodated on the stage. The interior design is characterized by light glass concrete , which ensures excellent acoustics. The ancillary rooms are arranged in the basement under the square of the new town center. In the concert hall, cantilevered glass concrete elements in various inclinations ensure fine acoustics. Depth absorbers and lighting are installed in the wall slots and under the rows of chairs.
