Development since 2016
At the beginning of 2015, the Phoenix Hall was taken over by a new operating company, Halle 45 GmbH . Since the previous operator did not want to part with the naming rights, the name of Phönix-Halle in Hall 45 had to be changed. At the end of 2015 the hall was available again for events. According to the intentions of the operators, hall 45 is to become a venue for concerts and theater, lavish product presentations, trade fairs and major sporting events. For this purpose, the hall was completely gutted and equipped with new security technologies. The total investment was around EUR 2.5 million. Thanks to a room partition system, the entire area can now be used individually and adapted to the different formats. The total area is divided into the main hall, the foyer and a bar. The number of people allowed for events is 2,000, and this is to be increased in the future.
