Lichtburg for Events in Essen

If you are in search of quite a special location in the Ruhr area, the Lichtburg in Essen shall be your first choice. The legendary cinema has been inspiring the visitors with an elegant architecture and inimitable ambience for more than 90 years - a great historical location for events of all kind. Invite to a private screening, welcome to the festive reception or hold your next meeting at ours.

On the first floor of the special location you will find a 160sqm foyer with four catering counters, the large cinema hall with 1,250 seats, the Blue Salon with counter and lounge sofas for about 40 people. By the way: Behind the largest roll-up screen in Europe (150 sqm) in the cinema hall is a wonderful theater stage, which is suitable for performances of all kinds. Of course, professional event technology is also available in the hall. The listed cinema icon thus offers an exceptional setting for a wide range of events such as concerts, theater, dance, comedy, readings, awards, TV recordings or company meetings.

In the basement of the historical location there are the small film hall Sabu with 150 seats and a foyer with cloakroom. On the upper floor, you find the historical Filmbar with bar and approx. 30 seats as well as another foyer with catering facilities.

You can use single event areas separately or rent the complete location, according to event size and number of persons.

Even people with handicap will feel fine at the Lichtburg in Essen. There are wheel chair places in both film halls, the upper floor and the basement are accessible via lift and there are disabled toilets.

We are looking forward to carry out your event in Essen!
