KOPFBAU Eventlocation is an event hall of about 400 m² in Lokstadt Winterthur, run by Swiss Casinos next to the Swiss Casino Winterthur at Zürcherstrasse 33. Organisers rent it exclusively for general assemblies, conferences, staff events, kick-offs, product launches, galas and concerts. It has a stage of up to 32 m², a 21 m² LED wall and flexible seating, and it opened in mid-December 2025.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists corporate events first among its uses: general assemblies, conferences, staff events and kick-offs. The hall offers room for the formal part of the programme and for presentations, and guests can move on afterwards to an aperitif or to the casino next door. The LED wall carries content, branding and show elements, and the lighting and sound concept is designed for events.
Trade fairs, presentations and product launches are also named. The open floor suits temporary installations, brand spaces and exhibits, with staging on the LED wall. Concerts, comedy, spoken word and shows work on the same stage. Request a non-binding offer through the contact form on the official page, and ask for the factsheet that the venue links.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are not listed among the uses. Galas, banquets, award nights and anniversaries are: with banquet seating the hall becomes a setting for dinners, awards, music or casino entertainment, and a few adjustments change the layout. Private celebrations of that kind should be discussed with the team.
Rooms and capacities
The main space is the KOPFBAU hall. Its event area is about 400 m². The stage reaches up to 32 m² and can be positioned flexibly. The LED wall measures 21 m² and is mobile. Seating is flexible, with banquet seating available for galas. The official pages read for this summary do not state guest numbers, so ask for the factsheet to get capacities for theatre, banquet and standing layouts.
The hall is directly connected to the Swiss Casino Winterthur. The LOK, a bar and lounge in the casino with a large chandelier, adds a place for an aperitif or an after-show lounge.
Catering
The pages read do not describe catering for the hall. They mention an aperitif and the LOK bar and lounge as possible follow-ups, so ask the team how food and drinks are organised for your event.
History and setting
Lokstadt Winterthur is the former site where steam locomotives were built for customers around the world. The KOPFBAU combines authentic industrial architecture of brick, steel and height with modern event technology, lighting design and the LED wall.
