Congresses, conferences, trade fairs, banquets, gala dinners and seminars for up to 1,200 guests can be held at Congress Park Hanau, the conference and concert center on Schlossplatz in Hanau, east of Frankfurt. Ten rooms and five foyers add up to more than 4,000 square meters, from a 37-square-meter meeting room to the Brüder-Grimm-Saal.
Seminars and company events
The center takes congresses with a plenary, breakouts and an exhibition, as well as product presentations, workshops, company events and award evenings. All halls and meeting rooms have large glass fronts with daylight, parquet floors, air conditioning and audio and video equipment. The building, including the underground garage and the concert hall, is barrier-free, and most of it can be reached by vehicle, with a freight elevator to the upper floor and the stage. That suits car presentations and trade fairs.
Five meeting rooms on the ground floor open onto the palace garden through a glass front and give direct access to a terrace at garden level, used for breaks and receptions. Mobile walls let rooms 1 to 4 be combined in pairs, in threes or all together.

History and setting
Historic parts of the building are integrated into the modern complex, among them the Historisches Foyer. The ground-floor meeting rooms are named after Hanau figures: the poet Karoline von Günderrode, the painter Moritz Daniel Oppenheim, the sculptor August Gaul, the painter Reinhold Ewald and the teacher Pauli Schmorell. The concert hall hosts the Congress Park Sinfonie series, which has run since 2009.
Getting there
Hanau Hauptbahnhof is an ICE stop, and bus line 2 runs from there to the Nordstraße stop at the center. Frankfurt Airport is 34 km away, under 30 minutes by road via the A3 and B45, and the S9 runs from the airport to Hanau without a change. The A3, A45 and A66 motorways are close. The venue's underground garage has 62 spaces, and the Parkhaus Congress Park nearby has 230.
