Crashtest Service in Münster hosts seminars, conferences, trade shows and company events for up to 250 people. The site has two event halls, several room layouts for 25 to 100 guests and an outdoor crash area of 40,000 m2 that can be used for demonstrations. The facility was built in 2011 as a crash-test laboratory, so events take place beside real test infrastructure.
Seminars and company events
The operator lists seminars, workshops, congresses, conferences, trade fairs, exhibitions, roadshows and technical talks. Room layouts can be set for groups of 25, 50, 75 or 100 people, with rows of chairs, parliamentary seating, single seats, standing tables or lounge groups.
The technical offer covers lighting and sound, wireless internet, a large screen and projector, technical support during presentations, live simultaneous interpretation and online live streaming. This suits industry conferences with an international audience.
The operator has already hosted several formats. These include seminars for insurers built around practical tests, rescue training with the Rescue Dome and a live crash, conferences for aviation and the military, police training within a seminar series on accident reconstruction, and a two-day conference on dummies, crash tests and measurement technology. Christmas parties and annual kick-off events also have their own pages.
Weddings and receptions
The official pages describe business events only. No wedding offer is mentioned.

The official pages do not mention accommodation on site. Plan hotel rooms in Münster separately.
Catering
The site has a section on catering and evening events, and the hall can host catering during presentations. The pages do not say whether catering is in-house or supplied by a partner, so ask when you send your request.
History and setting
The facility opened in 2011 and now covers 40,000 m2. It tests passenger cars, motorcycles and heavy vehicles up to 70 tonnes at speeds up to 210 km/h, and it has been accredited by DAkkS for standard crash tests of vehicle restraint systems since 2013. For an event, the outdoor area allows show crashes, practical talks and airbag deployment on request.
