history

The building, which was erected near the town hall according to plans by the architects Stumpf and Voigtländer, was inaugurated as a town hall in 1962 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Oberhausen's founding. It contained three event rooms of different sizes: the ballroom with a maximum of 1,600 seats, the so-called central hall with 400 seats and an auditorium for 270 people.

Since then, the hall has been used for urban cultural events, guest performances, meetings, exhibitions and celebrations. From 1963 to 1997 it was the location of the West German and International Short Film Festival .

The city hall was given its current name in honor of the long-time mayor Luise Albertz (1901–1979), during whose tenure it was built.

After extensive renovation and conversion work, the hall was reopened in 2000; since then the character of a congress center has been emphasized in its marketing, which now also includes a neighboring hotel and a parking garage. In addition to the modernized ballroom, which continues to be used for major cultural events such as the city symphony concerts, the hall now has nine further conference rooms named after major European cities. The total area of ​​11,600 m² is spread over around 9,000 m² of hall space and around 2,600 m² of catering area. The restaurant connected to the hall was called "Albert's" until the end of 2017.

Another minor renovation took place in 2012.
