Visualizations Stadthalle
(18.12.19) The City of Heidelberg has published two visualizations which give a first impression of the possible uses of the Big Hall of the Stadthalle Heidelberg after its renovation. Both pictures take up the perspective of the spectator. One motif shows the Big Hall with flat parquet flooring, one with rising rows of seats. Both constellations will be possible in the future, as both the rows of spectators and the stage elements will be mounted on lifting platforms. Learn more »
