erlebniswerkstatt rents a flexible event floor in Essen for workshops, seminars, conferences and company events with up to 80 seated guests. It occupies the historic walls of a former colliery hall in the Ruhr area. The space is designed in a New Work style, with mobile furniture, and the team offers catering, technology and team activities around the rental.
Seminars and company events
The seminar setup seats up to 80 people and comes with presentation technology: a projector, mobile LCD displays and microphones. Mobile whiteboards and writable walls support interactive formats. The floor works for small teams as well as for talks in front of a larger audience.
For events, the floor can be arranged as a relaxed networking area or with formal seating for up to 80 people. The operator names network evenings, company events, readings and panel discussions among the formats it hosts. The space has a bar area, room for guests to circulate and a professional sound system for discussions, talks and music. The site also mentions a live stream produced from the venue for a technology company.
The operator offers a full-service approach that goes beyond renting the space. A named contact person follows the event and stays available while it runs.
Rooms and capacities
The offer is a single, modular floor rather than a series of separate rooms, which lets you create sub-areas for group work. The stated maximum is 80 seated guests. The official pages do not give a standing capacity or the floor area in square meters. A 360-degree virtual tour of the floor is available on the website.
Accommodation
There are no bedrooms in the building itself. For multi-day formats, the seminar page points to a hotel in the immediate vicinity, which allows participants with a longer journey to stay close. The home page describes overnight options as available directly on site, so confirm the arrangement when you inquire.
Catering
Catering is organized through a range of partner caterers. Options run from light finger food for a relaxed reception to a grill buffet for an evening event. Drinks are part of the service. For breaks between sessions, the team also offers activities such as an escape game and office golf, which suit team-building segments.
History and setting
The venue sits in the walls of a former colliery hall, which gives the room a historic industrial setting. The operator presents it as a place for innovation and creativity and adapts the space to each event concept. The company behind it is erlebniswerkstatt GmbH, and the site lists past guests such as New Work organizations, business development groups, interest associations and companies hosting their customers.
Getting there
The venue stands in the Ruhr area, close to the A40 motorway, which makes it easy to reach by car. Parking is available directly in front of the building. The address on the site is Rotthauser Straße 40 in Essen, postal code 45309, while Google lists number 46a. Ask the team for the best route by public transport.
