Voltahalle

The event and culture hall Voltahalle is located at the bridge head of the Dreirosenbrücke (Dreirosen bridge) in the Basel St. Johann area. Located where the industry, the town and the River Rhine meet, and only ten tram minutes away from the centre of town, the former industrial hall offers outstanding facilities for all kinds of events to companies as well as private persons.

The spectacular large window front of 400 m2 depicts Basel by its urban side and is at the same time a showcase for a variety of events and activities, which accompany this neighbourhood through its transformation. The Voltahalle is located in the Basel St. Johann area, where industry, town and the River Rhine interface and offers a platform, spread over 600m2 floor space, that can be used for neighbourhood festivals, big events and large, space-covering art installations. The hall gets also booked by private persons and companies for presentations, seminars, fairs, functions and parties.

The tall former industry is 40 meters long, 14 meters wide and 12 meters high. The completely glazed whole length front façade offers a spectacular view to the impressive skyline of the industrial area and port facilities. A large, freely usable inner square is surrounded by a pavilion with a terrace and a bar.

The events infrastructure consists of a large, traffic free forecourt adjacent to the River Rhine, access to vans for deliveries at ground-floor, a 10 meter long bar as well as generous sanitary installations which ensures that up to 600 guest can benefit from the necessary amenities. The hall has been equipped carefully and purposefully and is fully accessible to handicapped persons. It disposes of stylish basic furnishing and is fitted with efficient technical equipment, consisting of a light and sound system adapted to the room specifics. But there is still a lot of leeway for alterations and individual installations requests.
