Three institutions – one building: under the title »The Anniversaries!« the Hallenbau Festival 2022 celebrates 25 years of the Städtische Galerie Karlsruhe and the ZKM | Karlsruhe in the Hallenbau as well as 30 years of the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG).
Hall A has been one of the foremost art locations in Karlsruhe since the 1990s. With a length of 312 meters, 10 inner courtyards, as well as 16,500 square meters of floor space, the listed industrial architecture building from the 20th century is an urban landmark located between the western and southwestern city, which is renowned far beyond the city of Karlsruhe.
From Friday evening to Sunday afternoon, the Hallenbau Festival 2022 offers a program of culture across all genres: exhibitions, films, concerts, lectures, debates, guided tours, retrospectives, and outlooks.
Admission is free throughout the building during the Festival.

History of the Hallenbau A
Built in 1915 as a munitions factory, Hallenbau A was, apart from interruptions between the world wars, in operation using forced laborers until the end of the Second World War. In the 1980s, independent artists discovered the monumental building for themselves, before the Städtische Galerie and the ZKM moved in in 1997, followed two years later by the HfG.
In the diversity of their programs and projects, the three institutions have established the building internationally far beyond Karlsruhe – as a platform for art, media, and contemporary art production, as a place for learning and teaching, for debating and researching, as well as for exhibiting and mediating. Three institutions that stand for an art and production space in the middle of Karlsruhe.
