Kongress am Park Augsburg
Just under 3,000 square metres surrounded by greenery: in addition to the conference hall, which can accommodate up to 1,405 people, we offer a hall for 330 participants and two bright foyers with direct access to the park and an exhibition area of 1,300 square metres. Seven further meeting rooms, accommodating up to 140 people, are suitable for use as workshop rooms.
The listed exposed-concrete building was completed in 1972 and underwent energy-efficiency and aesthetic refurbishment in 2012. Close to the city centre yet surrounded by greenery, the Kongress am Park captivates with its unique architecture, its innovative lighting installation and the spaciousness of its premises.
The complex enjoys cult status among experts as a ‘best practice’ example of the revival of post-war modernism and a monument to Brutalism (béton brut).
Stylistically authentic design classics from the 1970s, such as Verner Panton’s Pantonova seating row, harmonise with the cool exposed concrete. The feel-good atmosphere is also created by design objects such as the ‘Plasma’ seating by the Danish designers Busk and Hertzog.
Colourful works of art by local artists adorn the simple grey concrete walls. In collaboration with the Augsburg Society for Contemporary Art, visitors discover a new exhibition by local artists every year.
Augsburg’s strength as a business hub also lies in clusters specialising in environmental and water technology, mechatronics and IT, as well as in fibre composites and the healthcare sector, in conjunction with the University Hospital.
Augsburg scores highly both for its central location in Bavaria and good transport links, as well as for its attractions within walking distance. As the birthplace of Leopold Mozart and Bertolt Brecht, one of Germany’s oldest cities offers great cultural diversity: Emperor Augustus and the Romans, the Fuggers and the Fuggerei, the Fugger and Welser Museums, and the Augsburger Puppenkiste. The Textile and Industry Museum and the cultural quarter around the gasworks bring industrial heritage back to life.
