Rhein-Ruhr-Halle
The Rhein-Ruhr-Halle is a multi-purpose hall in Duisburg-Hamborn that has been closed since March 2011. It has a scene area of 45 × 54 meters and offers space for 1,100 to 4,362 people.
The hall is located directly at the Duisburg-Marxloh exit of the A59 and is directly connected to the 903 tram line and the 905 and 910 bus lines with the “Rhein-Ruhr-Halle” stop.
history
The hall was opened on October 31, 1975.
The hall was used for television shows, concerts, sporting events as well as trade fairs and exhibitions. Every Tuesday there is a flea market in the parking lot of the hall .
The show Wetten, dass ..? was broadcast several times from the Rhein-Ruhr-Halle, the issue of November 1995 with the world premiere of Michael Jackson's Earth Song is particularly memorable . Other television programs , such as Flitterabend or Die verflixte Sieben with Rudi Carrell, also stopped in the Rhein-Ruhr-Halle. Another welcome guest in the hall was Dieter Thomas Heck with his programs Melodies for Millions or "Music is in the Air".
In the 1980s and 1990s, many concerts by Udo Jürgens , James Last and other artists took place in Hamborn. The World Games 2005 were partly held in the hall.
In September 2009 a stage worker had a fatal accident while setting up an edition of " Willkommen bei Carmen Nebel ".
closure
In March 2011 the hall was closed. The last public event was an appearance by Atze Schröder on March 17, the last non-public event a meeting of Thyssen a few days later. The closure was controversial in city politics, as it should actually only take place when a new sports hall in Hamborn has been completed as a replacement. In fact, the new sports hall was not completed until 2015 and was designed as a pure sports hall and not as an event hall.
future
Due to the partially ailing condition, the demolition of the hall has been discussed for a long time, but this has not yet been done.
Plans for outlet centers
A Dutch investor wanted to build a shopping center for branded goods , the “Duisburg Village Outlet” , on the site of the Rhein-Ruhr-Halle for around 125 million euros . The Rhein-Ruhr-Halle was to be retained as scaffolding. A new glass roof was to form an open boulevard that would have connected the individual shops on a total area of 19,000 square meters. Originally 95 stores were to be opened in October 2013, but the construction of the outlet center has been postponed several times. One of the main reasons for this was protests by residents, as several surrounding houses in the adjacent "zinc smelting settlement" were to be demolished and the residents relocated.
Failure of planning and further vacancies
In February 2016, the district council decided to end the planning. New investors were sought from 2017. Although several offers were received as a result of the new tender, a new buyer had not yet been found as of January 2018. In 2019 the hall is still unused and is increasingly falling into disrepair; In addition, there is rubbish lying around on the site and metal parts of the hall cladding have either disappeared due to storm damage or metal thieves .
demolition
In September 2019 it was decided to demolish the hall, which is planned for the end of 2020.
On the other hand, the city has been considering a possible renovation and reactivation of the hall since mid-2020.
