The Classic Remise in Düsseldorf can host conferences, workshops, trade fairs, galas and receptions for up to 600 guests, with three seminar rooms and a 870 m² event hall. It occupies a restored locomotive shed on Harffstraße and also houses a restaurant and an exhibition of about 100 classic cars.
Seminars and company events
The main space is the event hall, 870 m² with a wooden parquet floor and air conditioning. The venue states that it takes up to 600 people for conferences, trade fairs, workshops, galas and receptions. The hall is noise-protected and its lighting can be blacked out in a controlled way, so presentations can run during the day.
Three seminar rooms cover smaller formats. One room of 75 m² suits seminars, small workshops and presentations for up to 50 people. A larger room of 115 m² is meant for bigger conferences and company presentations. A mobile partition divides it into a 75 m² room and a 40 m² room, and professional conference technology is available.
Rooms and capacities
The foyer measures about 280 m² and works for arrivals, check-in or a cloakroom. The gallery, 300 m², is used for coffee and lunch breaks, a lounge, product presentations or an extra reception area. The venue publishes a separate page with a site plan and capacities per layout, which is the reference to use when you need seated or theatre figures.
Catering
Coffee and lunch breaks can be served on the viewing gallery of the event restaurant on the upper floor. The gallery overlooks the exhibition of classic cars, so guests move between sessions and meals in the same building.
History and setting
The building is a ring locomotive shed, built between 1929 and 1931. It stood empty and decayed from the mid-1970s, after the steam era ended. The current owners bought it from Deutsche Bahn in 2005. The architects RKW planned the restoration and conversion, with support from the city of Düsseldorf. The Classic Remise opened on Harffstraße in September 2006. The shed is listed as a protected monument.
The site is open to visitors Monday to Saturday from 8:00 to 23:00 and on Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 to 23:00. After 20:00 it is open only to restaurant guests, which matters when you plan an evening event.
