history
Rosenheim workshop
With the opening of the Maximiliansbahn from Munich to Kufstein in 1858, an operating workshop of the Bavarian State Railway was established in Rosenheim . The centerpiece of the system was a massive 19-person semicircular shed with a turntable and head structures on the front sides of the machine house. The workshop was built to the west of the tracks at the level of the reception building and put into operation on November 13, 1858. Soon it was no longer possible to adapt the existing station facility to the growing volume of traffic, so in 1872 an application was made to relocate the station to its current location. After the commissioning of the new Rosenheim station in 1876, the existing facilities were abandoned and the land and buildings were sold to the city of Rosenheim two years later.
Urban warehouse
In the following years, the locomotive shed was used as a municipal warehouse and the reception building opposite as the town hall. In 1884, a single-storey connecting building was built between the head buildings. In 1898 part of the warehouse was damaged by fire and rebuilt in an expanded form. Another fire damaged the engine shed in 1921. When it was rebuilt the following year, the building received the pent roof that still exists today .
Archives, library and gym
In 1928, a three-storey warehouse was built in place of the connecting structure between the head structures of the locomotive shed. In 1931 the town archive and the town library were housed in the engine shed itself. A year later, part of the shed was converted into a gym . The neighborhood help and workers welfare moved into the head buildings. After 1952, the head buildings were partially used by municipal authorities.
Monument protection and renovation
In 1983 the former station building and the semicircular building of the former workshop including the head buildings were added to the list of monuments of the city of Rosenheim . The demolition of the warehouse between the head buildings made it possible to use the semicircular space in front of the shed as a parking lot.
In 1986 an architectural competition was held for the renovation and conversion of the locomotive shed into an event center. The winner, Professor Joseph Karg from Munich, was entrusted with the further planning work. The locomotive shed was awarded in 1988 by the Association of German Architects for the effective combination of a historic building with contemporary additions.
Exhibition center Lokschuppen Rosenheim
The exhibition center was opened in 1988 with the state exhibition "Die Bajuwaren". A year later, the Veranstaltungs & Kongress GmbH Rosenheim (VKR) took over the operation and marketing of the exhibition center.
The engine shed has a total area of 1521 m². It is divided into a gross exhibition area of 1316 m² and the foyer. The forecourt with 2600 m² gross area can be used for open air events. The locomotive shed also has a café and bistro.
The engine shed is located on the southern edge of the city center opposite the town hall.
