Altes Theater Magdeburg is a theater hall and glass foyer that organizers can hire for seminars, conferences, trade fairs, company parties, kick-offs, gala dinners, weddings and family celebrations.

Seminars and company events
Companies use the hall for kick-offs, workshops, congresses, trade fairs and galas, and the Glasfoyer for receptions and networking. The Großer Saal measures 500 m², 20 m wide by 25 m long, with a parquet floor and no daylight. Its stage is 18 m deep and 19 m wide, with a separable side stage of 200 m² and a maximum opening of 14 by 7 m. Technical equipment is listed, but it is not part of the base rental, so ask for a technical quote. A venue manager is on site during events.
Weddings and receptions
Private hosts book the venue for weddings, anniversaries, Jugendweihe, school enrollment celebrations and family events. The banquet layout seats 350 guests, and the Glasfoyer is a bright space with a flexible layout for the reception. The venue's own calendar shows closed private events in the hall and foyer, which confirms they are used for private parties.
