Getting there and practical details

Neighborhood
Linden-Limmer, Hanover

Capitol Hannover is a converted cinema in Hanover that hosts company and client events, product presentations and trade-fair events for 400 to 1,400 people. The venue offers 2,000 square meters over two floors, a fully equipped stage and an in-house full-service team for programme, decoration, catering, staff, technology and security.

Seminars and company events

The official rental page is written for companies. It names corporate and client events, product presentations and trade-fair events as typical uses. It also suits an artist or act that you plan to present, since the same stage that serves the club's concerts is available for hire.

The venue is not a small meeting room. The space is sized for large formats: a conference with a show element, a customer evening, a product launch or an internal company party.

Rooms and capacities

The rooms spread over two floors and can be used in variable ways. Depending on the setup, the venue holds events of 400 to 1,400 people, on a total area of 2,000 square meters. The official page does not list separate rooms or give seated and standing figures, so ask for the plan that fits your format.

The technical equipment is described as state of the art for sound, video and lighting, and the stage is fully equipped for concerts and product presentations.

Catering and services

The team offers full service from one source. The list given on the rental page covers programme design, decoration, catering, staff, technical equipment and the security service. You can therefore brief one contact for the whole event, rather than assembling suppliers yourself. The page does not describe menus or catering formats, so discuss them in the first conversation.

History and setting

The building is the Capitol in the Linden-Limmer district of Hanover, a cinema from 1930 designed by Friedrich Hartjenstein in a Brick Expressionist style and listed as a monument in Lower Saxony. Today the club presents concerts and shows, and the official site describes the hall as a converted cinema with an unusual atmosphere. The venue's own address on the site is Ferdinand-Wilhelm-Fricke-Weg 8, Hanover; Google Maps places it at Schwarzer Bär 2.

Getting there

The official page describes the Capitol as central in Hanover and easy to reach by every means of transport. An underground garage is attached and offers enough parking spaces for guests. The site has a separate directions page for exact routes. For rental requests, the venue lists a dedicated contact for private hire at its rental email address and the main phone line.
