Edwin Scharff Haus is a cultural and congress centre distinguished by architecture designed in 1970 by Munich architect Bernhard von Busse. Its combination of exposed concrete, warm wooden surfaces and expansive glazing gives the building a distinctive modernist identity, while its architectural importance has been further recognised through protected monument status. The principal event space is the Great Hall, accommodating up to 837 guests in seated configuration or as many as 1,288 people without seating, while the smaller hall can host almost 300 guests in theatre-style seating.
The interior is designed for a broad range of formats, from concerts, performances and ceremonial occasions to congresses, conferences and corporate events. A substantial stage, flexible seating layouts, air-conditioned halls and additional studio, conference and foyer areas allow the venue to adapt to different types of events. Visitors also benefit from clear sightlines, convenient connections between the halls and foyer areas and wheelchair-accessible facilities throughout the main event spaces.
The venue is located at Silcherstraße 40, Neu-Ulm, Germany, directly beside the Danube. Drivers benefit from parking immediately next to the building, with 294 car spaces as well as designated accessible spaces and parking bays equipped with electric-vehicle charging points, keeping the walk from the car to the entrance particularly short. Bus stops are also only a few minutes away on foot.
