Seminars and company events
The Liederhalle takes congresses, conferences, meetings, workshops, presentations and gala dinners, from small workshops up to about 2,500 standing guests in a single hall. The Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Liederhalle stands on Berliner Platz in central Stuttgart, within walking distance of the main station.
The building offers five halls and 12 meeting rooms. Rooms can be combined or used in parallel, so a plenary session, breakout groups and an exhibition can run at the same time. An online room planner filters the spaces by number of guests and seating style.
Rooms and capacities
The Beethoven-Saal is the largest concert hall, with close to 2,100 seats across the parquet and the gallery. The parquet alone takes 1,315 in rows, 1,032 at banquet tables or 752 for a gala.

Accommodation
There are no bedrooms in the Liederhalle itself, but the Maritim Hotel Stuttgart connects directly to the Schiller-Saal, so delegates can walk from their rooms to the sessions. Other hotels are nearby in the city center.
Catering
Catering comes from the exclusive partner, the Maritim Hotel Stuttgart. Formats range from a seated gala dinner to organic menus, a flying buffet or finger food served during breaks.
History and setting
The first Liederhalle was destroyed in an air raid on the night of October 7, 1943. The present building opened in 1956 after 18 months of construction and was inaugurated by mayor Arnulf Klett. Its historic part was listed as a monument in 1987. A congress extension designed by Wolfgang Henning and Rudolf Schricker followed in 1991. The congress area around the Hegel- and Schiller-Saal was fully renovated from 2019 and reopened in December 2020, and the lighting in all halls was renewed in 2024.
Getting there
The address is Berliner Platz 1-3, 70174 Stuttgart. Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof, public transport stops and several parking garages are close by, which makes the venue easy to reach from across Baden-Württemberg. Stuttgart Airport serves national and international flights.
