The Sendesaal Bremen , formerly called: Radio Bremen Sendesaal (Studio F) , is a hall building from 1952 with an associated company building as well as extensions from the 1980s and is located in Bremen - Schwachhausen . The building complex was used by Radio Bremen from 1952 to 2008 as a larger radio studio (“Studio F”) for sound recordings and live recordings of concerts, etc.

The hall building, which is now under monument protection , has 250 seats and, thanks to its special construction, has acoustics that are unique in Europe .

Location and overview

The building complex with the broadcasting hall is located on the former premises of the Radio Bremen radio station , which is located on the corner of the Mayor-Spitta-Allee and Heinrich-Hertz-Strasse in the Radio Bremen district of the Schwachhausen district of Bremen .

By the end of 2007, the radio and administration area followed from the former broadcasting house in Bremen-Schwachhausen. Only the old radio broadcasting hall was still used by Radio Bremen for sound recordings and concerts until 2008.

history

The broadcasting hall was built in the early 1950s according to plans by the Bremen architects Storm, Anker and Störmer . The opening took place on December 23, 1952.

At the beginning of 2009, the entire area with all the buildings of the former radio house was sold by Radio Bremen to the "Sendesaal Karree Gesellschaft", which is backed by a developer company owned by the Bremen contractor and patron Klaus Hübotter and the Bremen construction company Kathmann. The operator of the newly named Sendesaals Bremen is the Verein Freunde des Sendesaals e. V. , based in Bremen, who had campaigned for years to preserve the broadcasting hall, which was threatened with demolition. The association holds public concerts and offers the hall together with the technical facilities for recordings. Record labels like Enja and ECM want to record in the broadcasting hall.

In 2011 Harmonia Mundi released a recording with the Tetzlaff Quartet, recorded in the spring-loaded room of the broadcasting hall.
