history

The core of today's cultural stage goes back to a cinema, the structural origin of which dates back to 1890 (later the club house). This part is a listed building.

In 1998, after years of preparation and controversial discussions, a referendum took place in Götzis on the future of the event center, in which the majority of those eligible to vote spoke out in favor of maintaining and expanding it. In September 1998, the groundbreaking ceremony for the new culture stage took place based on the plans by architect BSA Hubert Bischoff from St. Margrethen . In 1999 and 2000 the associated club house (from the 1950s) was renovated.

On March 8, 2000, the first event took place in the new "Great Hall" of the Kulturbühne. The cultural stage was officially opened on June 11, 2000.

The building complex (about 437  m above sea level ) consists of several components of different ages. It has a length of around 46 meters (north-south) and a width of around 50 meters (east-west). The most prominent part of the building is around 14 meters high.

The culture stage offers seats for around 1100 people in four halls:

  • the large hall has an area of ​​around 340 m² and can be equipped with around 600 seats (around 500 seats with catering at tables).
  • In the so-called club house with a hall with about 246 m² there are seats for about 340 visitors. The clubhouse is a former cinema and event hall. This is also where the administration of the cultural stage, rooms for the tonart music school and the WAMCO - West Austrian Musical Company and the Musiktheater Vorarlberg are based.
  • The foyer (around 198 m²) has space for around 150 seats.
  • in the lecture room (around 105 m²) there is space for 50 to 70 seats.

The new building with the large hall is mainly made of wood and has a glass skin made of individual vertical glass strips. In the interior, oak was mainly used to achieve a special, independent and reserved spatial expression. AMBACH is written in large letters on the facade of the new building. This is supposed to be a contribution to "Art in Architecture" and was designed by the artist Karlheinz Ströhle (1957 - 2016) from Götzis. In the foyer there is a work of cubes and spheres by the sculptor and conceptual artist Hubert Lampert . The relief-like object conveys a wooden message in binary code (balls = 0 and cubes = 1) : time for inspiration and sensations .
