Stadthalle Hilden, in Hilden between Düsseldorf and Solingen, hosts company events, congresses, galas, balls and exhibitions for up to 1,100 people on 1,500 m² of hall space. A hydraulic partition splits the space, so a 500 m² small hall and a large foyer can run separately.
Seminars and company events
The hall serves organisers of conferences, corporate evenings, trade shows, exams and dance events. The large hall suits trade fairs and standing concerts. The foyer, with its own stage, hosts markets, exhibitions, exams and dance afternoons.
The operator is Stadt Hilden Holding GmbH. Its team handles requests from organisers and its technical manager advises on stage, light and sound. The building has a 175 Mbit/s internet line, available by Wi-Fi or cable.
