Haus Sindlingen hosts staff assemblies, conferences, Christmas parties, concerts and comedy shows for up to 350 guests seated in rows in its main hall, plus 147 more on the gallery. The building is a listed 1960s civic hall in Sindlingen, in the west of Frankfurt am Main, directly at the Sindlingen S-Bahn stop, 12 to 13 minutes from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof.
Seminars and company events
Company meetings are a core offer. The venue sells packages for staff assemblies in four sizes: up to 40 people seated in the club room, up to 80 and up to 150 seated in the large hall, and larger meetings on request. Each package includes four hours of seated setup, service staff for four hours, unlimited coffee and water with savory and sweet pastries, and final cleaning. Smaller groups get a compact sound system with two microphones; the larger package comes with a technical package and an operator. The team also builds tailored packages for conferences, Christmas parties and other company events, and the venue states that the building is barrier-free.
Rooms and capacities
The Saal is the main hall, with a ceiling of up to 9 meters and room for 350 seated in rows. A gallery above adds 147 seats in rows, for 497 in total. The 100 square meter stage has direct access to the dressing rooms, useful for speakers, bands or a production team. The foyer works as a cloakroom and for standing receptions. The Clubraum, about 90 square meters, serves as a back office, storage or extra cloakroom, or as a room for small events. The Mietlokal, the former restaurant of the house, can be hired separately for meetings, small celebrations or group workshops.
Catering
Catering for company meetings is part of the packages, with coffee, water and pastries served by the house staff. For larger events, the team puts together a package to match the program.
History and setting
The foundation stone was laid in 1961 and the house opened in 1963 as one of the first civic community halls in a German city, run by the city's Saalbau company. It was designed by Frankfurt architect Günter Bock and is protected as a cultural monument. In 1979 it hosted the federal assembly that took the decision to found the Green party, with Joseph Beuys and Petra Kelly in attendance. Since 2005 it has been run by a private operating company.

The S1 line from Frankfurt toward Wiesbaden stops at Sindlingen, right at the house, about 13 minutes from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof and 29 minutes from Wiesbaden. The S2 stops at Zeilsheim, about 500 meters away. Bus 54 and night bus N8 also serve the area. Frankfurt Airport is about 10 minutes by car. Drivers take the A66 to the Krifteler Dreieck and the B40 toward Sindlingen. Parking is available at the house and in the streets around it.
