Hannover Congress Centrum hosts congresses, conferences and company events from a board meeting to more than 3,500 delegates, and banquets catered in-house for up to 4,000 guests. Its 39 event rooms sit in the historic Stadthalle and its later halls, on Theodor-Heuss-Platz beside the Stadtpark in Hanover, Germany.
Seminars and company events
The venue counts four multipurpose halls, seven historic halls and 28 conference and seminar rooms, for a total of 23,000 square meters of halls and foyers and about 13,000 seats. That range lets a single congress run its plenary in the Kuppelsaal, parallel sessions in the upper halls and workshops on the conference level, all under one roof. The HCC sells day packages for meetings with drinks, a buffet lunch or dinner and break snacks, and it hosts more than 400 events a year.
Its own event technology department plans and runs lighting, sound, projection, rigging, staging and IT networks, from a projector in a seminar room to a full stage production. When a show needs more, the team brings in suppliers from Hanover. The Future Meeting Space, about 340 square meters, can be split into two rooms of 150 seats each, and a Video Conference Lounge suits hybrid formats.
Weddings and receptions
The banquet team offers wedding, food and drink packages, and it also takes smaller dinners and family celebrations. Hosts choose their own menu, and a full-service option covers table and flower decoration plus contacts for photographers, DJs and performers. The 60,000-square-meter Stadtpark, laid out together with the hall in 1914, is used for large receptions and open-air events, and the Terrasse Obere Säle looks over it.
Rooms and capacities
The figures below are for theater-style rows. The Eilenriedehalle (3,476 m²) takes 4,034 people and the Kuppelsaal (4,530 m²) 3,573. The Niedersachsenhalle seats 1,512 and the Glashalle 1,144. Among the historic halls, the Leibniz Saal seats 754, Raum 27 holds 260, the Blauer Saal and the Roter Saal 217 each, the Runder Saal 196 and the Bonatz Saal 192. The 22 conference rooms measure 40 to 80 square meters. The venue's own text also gives 2,500 as the conference seating of its largest halls, so confirm the layout for your event.
Accommodation
The four-star Congress Hotel am Stadtpark, with 258 rooms, is directly connected to the building, so delegates can walk from their room to the plenary without going outside.
Catering
Catering is in-house. The HCC's event caterer runs the packages for meetings, banquets and gala dinners, the public Parkside restaurant, and also supplies the Heinz von Heiden-Arena football stadium. A banquet folder sets out the options.
History and setting
The Stadthalle opened in 1914 to designs by Paul Bonatz and Friedrich Eugen Scholer and is a listed monument. The domed Kuppelsaal and six large festive halls form its historic core, and the upper halls open onto the green park.
Getting there
The address is Theodor-Heuss-Platz 1-3, 30175 Hannover. Free parking spaces and 900 low-cost spaces sit next to the building, and the HCC can arrange event tickets for public transport. Tram line 11 serves the venue, and Hannover Hauptbahnhof and Hannover Airport are both reached through the city center.
