CURIO HOUSE

This is perhaps the greatest magic of the CURIO HOUSE: It gives the earthly something sublime. On 1,800 square meters, every idea gets its space, every event its face. So, let your feet follow your soul - over wide parquet floors and curved terrazzo staircases. Through bright corridors, into high halls and hidden rooms that whisper history. Rooms that cast people in their glory - there is hardly a greater appreciation of the moment. This event location is not a backdrop: It is a place of pure being.

Room within a room. Event within an event.

Which salon would you like? West gallery? East gallery? Large? Small? The venerable Gesellschaftshaus is one large or ten smaller event locations - just as you need it. The location can accommodate up to 1,500 guests. Highlight: the ballroom on the second floor. Somewhat smaller on the ground floor: The White Hall with its surrounding gallery or the Rothenbaum Hall with terrace facing Rothenbaumchaussee. Lavish: the foyers over four floors. Why not just get lost here and see what happens?

History of the building

Do buildings forget what they have experienced? Or do mortar and walls forever breathe the spirit of the moment? The CURIO-HAUS was completed in 1911 as a society house and was a meeting place for artists and intellectuals in the 1920s. It became famous for the wild "Hamburg artists' parties". After the end of the war, the British occupation forces held court over Nazi and war crimes in the Curiohaus trials. In 1950, the university moved in with its refectory. The CURIO-HAUS was then extensively restored. Since then, it has once again followed its purpose - to be a collector of special moments.
