The Alte Schmelz in St. Ingbert.
Immerse yourself in the diversity and almost unlimited possibilities of the oldest and most attractive event centre in Saarland. The industrial cathedral, the event house and the Möllerhalle form the foundation of St. Ingbert's cultural centre as a historical ensemble. Located a few kilometres north-east of the state capital, the area comprises a large number of industrial monuments, most of which date back to the expansion phase of the ironworks between 1907 and 1913. These include outstanding individual monuments such as the mechanical workshop and the Möllerhalle, which are the oldest industrial monuments in Saarland.
Thanks to the symbiosis of old industrial charm and modernised infrastructure, this historic location leaves nothing to be desired for event organisers. Whether for cultural events such as concerts, theatre and cabaret performances or for company celebrations.
