The Medio.Rhein.Erft ( proper spelling : MEDIO.RHEIN.ERFT ) is an event house in the center of the district town of Bergheim . In addition to two halls and seven multifunctional rooms, the culture and media center has a ticket shop, the Café Medio.Lounge and the Bergheim city library. A striking trademark of the event center is its copper-green facade.
history
In 1996, considerations and plans began to convert the old Bergheim town hall into a modern culture and media center, as there was considerable need for renovation. After an architectural competition within the framework of a planning workshop in 1997, the planning was awarded in 1998 and finally the construction phase between 1999 and 2004. This was accompanied by the political committees with the involvement of citizens and associations . With effect from June 1, 2003, the operating company of Medio.Rhein.Erft was founded as a subsidiary of the district town of Bergheim in the legal form of a GmbH , BM.Cultura. The renovation was completed in 2004 and the new event hall was inaugurated in September 2004.

architecture
The plans to convert the town hall into a culture and media center began in 1997 in a dialogue-oriented design workshop with five architectural offices and culminated in a planning contract for a consortium of Zander and Busmann & Haberer in 1998. The award was made on the basis of a population survey . In terms of urban development, the main factors were the extensive maintenance of Hubert-Rheinfeld-Platz as well as the new design in the transition to the pedestrian zone and the sensitive handling of the existing town hall. One of the architectural features of Medio.Rhein.Erft is the copper-green facade, which is often compared to the bow of a ship .
