Natalia Kurganova
★★★★★4 months agoThis place is simply beautiful. If you ever get the chance to attend a concert here, you’ll definitely enjoy your experience. It has a central location, a restaurant with a lake view, and fast, attentive staff. I attended a concert by Snatam Kaur, and the balcony seats offered a great view. It’s a huge concert hall, yet everything is organized at the highest level.

★★★★★Edited 8 months agoI went for ZFF premier movie to the kongresshaus. I‘m amazed how marvelous and spacious it is . I was sitting at the balcony. The movie was full house but it did not feel crowded. The audio in the hall was clear, not too loud. The organization, bar and personnel all were top. It was a very elite experience!
