Cultural jewel Fürstenfeld: The secret of the success of the event forum!
Set in the picturesque setting of the former Fürstenfeld monastery, the culture and events forum has developed into a real magnet for those interested in culture. With over 300,000 visitors every year, it is one of the most important cultural centers in Bavaria and has had a significant impact on the city of Fürstenfeldbruck. According to a report by the South German newspaper Since its opening in 2001, the forum has established itself as a popular destination for relaxation, leisure activities, trade fairs and conferences.
The importance of the event forum is reflected not only in the impressive number of visitors, but also in the variety of events on offer. Over 250,000 people take part in a wide variety of events, although the actual number of visitors is probably even higher. Because numerous major events are open to the public, often even without admission costs.
A place full of history and culture
The location itself, the former Fürstenfeld monastery, not only offers a historical backdrop, but is also described as a “third home”. In the last 24 years, numerous cultural and historical changes have taken place, including the reconstruction of the Elector's Hall. Many citizens have actively contributed to the cultural development of their city and have thus created the appearance and offerings of the city that we know today.
The challenges in building the cultural center were enormous. A discussion about inadequate spaces for cultural events began as early as the 1960s. The road to the final completion of the multi-purpose hall was rocky: financing problems and a construction stop after the local elections led to several delays. Finally, the forum was inaugurated on October 5, 2001. The extensive planning and innovative spirit of architects Christian Vogel and Reinhold Brunninger have contributed to the creation of a multifunctional space that covers an area of 4,274 m² and offers many possibilities for events.
Cultural diversity in the range of events
The event program is diverse and ranges from the Fürstenfeld concert series to JazzFirst and theater performances. This diversity not only attracts local citizens, but is also a benefit for the entire region. Norbert Leinweber, the cultural manager, has shown a good knack for promoting the cultural sector and strengthening the connection between the commercial and cultural sectors. Around 2.3 million euros annually from the rental of event rooms can be used to support the cultural offering, which also includes six subscription series.
In addition, local companies such as ESG, which moved to Fürstenfeldbruck in 2007, have contributed to the flagship financing of the cultural center with their trade tax. A catering family financed the expansion of the former cowshed and the construction of a conference hotel, which reduced the city's investment costs by a third. The successfully created environment has made the city a self-confident community that is proud of its cultural institutions.
In summary, it can be said that the culture and event forum is not only an architectural highlight in the region, but also makes an important contribution to social and cultural life in Fürstenfeldbruck. It will be exciting to see how this important center continues to grow and prosper in the future. Further information about the development of the forum can be found at Wikipedia.
