Alte Lohnhalle Wattenscheid hosts talks, conferences, product presentations and trade fairs of up to 199 people in a 220 m2 hall, and weddings of 50 to 200 guests. Two smaller rooms take 40 people each. The center is run by Knepper Management in Bochum-Wattenscheid.
Seminars and company events
The center describes itself as an event venue with rooms for creative and focused discussions. Rooms are fitted with technology to the customer's requirements. A house catering service supplies hot and cold drinks, small snacks for the coffee break and, on request, a full lunch.
The Alte Lohnhalle hall measures 220 m2 and holds up to 199 people. It can be laid out parliamentary style, cinema style, with group tables or with stations, so it suits talks, conferences, product presentations and fairs. A local business chamber has held an evening event in the venue. The company also lists commercial hire as an offer.
Weddings and receptions
The rustic hall suits weddings with 200 guests or with 50. Hosts equip the room to their taste. LED spotlights on the upper gallery and on the columns light the space, and string lights and light nets hang over the guests. The team plans the day with the couple, including a cocktail bar, a bouncy castle in the forecourt, a photo booth or fireworks.
The cocktail bar offers more than 50 cocktails, from which the couple selects 10. A free ceremony is also listed, as is a registry room called Trauzimmer.
