An inspiring place
The Liederhalle in the heart of Stuttgart is an inspiring place where history and modernity merge. Its origins date back to 1863, when the Stuttgart Liederkranz choir laid the foundation stone for a venue that quickly became the cultural center of the city. After being destroyed in World War II, the current Neue Liederhalle was opened in 1956—an architectural masterpiece and symbol of the city's new beginning. It was built in 1956 by architects Rolf Gutbrod and Adolf Abel, who set an international example with their expressionist and organic design of post-war modernism. The extension to the culture and congress center was realized in 1991 by architect Wolfgang Henning.

The Schillersaal in the heart of the Liederhalle​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
The Schillersaal and the directly adjoining foyer impress with their flexible use and clear, light-flooded architecture. State-of-the-art technology meets an open-plan concept here: between encounters and conversations, the foyer creates an open atmosphere.
