The history of Bochum's Jahrhunderthalle began in 1903. At the heart of the cast steel company ›Bochumer Verein für Bergbau und Gußstahlfabrikation‹, a monumental steel construction was erected. For more than 60 years, the impressive hall with its 9.000 square meters, the so-called Gas Power Centre, supplied the plant and the urban settlement Stahlhausen with energy. In 2003 - exactly 100 years after its completion - the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum was handed over to its new destiny as a central festival theatre of the Ruhrtriennale and as an »assembly hall for art« (Gerard Mortier).

* The decision whether and when tickets can be returned for sale is usually based on artistic reasons. Frequently it is only evident during the rehearsal process or the technical preparations whether technical barriers, for example, may be moved or removed. In such an event, seats and therefore also tickets will become available. Current information is available in our TicketServiceMail.
