About this venue
Kaisersaal - Erfurt combines a historic setting with the functionality of a modern congress and event venue. At the heart of the complex is an impressive historic hall with two gallery levels, complemented by six additional salons, a garden and medieval cellar spaces that allow the venue to accommodate a wide range of event formats. The main hall covers approximately 699 m² and, depending on the configuration, can host up to 596 guests in theatre-style seating or as many as 1,000 people for standing receptions.
Inside, the representative historic character is supported by modern event infrastructure. Professional sound equipment, lighting, projection technology and a permanently installed stage make the venue suitable for concerts, conferences, gala evenings and other programmes, while air conditioning, lift access and flexible seating arrangements contribute to visitor comfort. The venue also operates its own catering services, allowing food and beverage arrangements to be integrated directly into an event.

The public car park at Hotel Am Kaisersaal is situated diagonally opposite the venue, while the Stadtmuseum/Kaisersaal tram stop is approximately 100 metres away and is served by lines 1 and 5.

About the city: Erfurt
Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia, blends the charm of a well-preserved medieval center with the modern pulse of a city that welcomes big gatherings. Whether you’re looking for tickets to concerts or sports events, you get the experience in a city compact enough to move around easily, yet lively enough to offer more than the main program. Visitors appreciate the relaxed atmosphere, a strong food-and-drink scene, and a practical layout that lets your evening start (or end) in the historic old town.
For arrival and getting around, the EVAG Stadtbahn and the city’s bus network form the backbone of public transport, connecting you quickly to key parts of town. If you’re arriving by train, Erfurt Hauptbahnhof is a major long-distance hub and a great starting point for continuing on to arenas and stadiums. For air travelers there’s Flughafen Erfurt–Weimar, and the mix of trams, buses, and short taxi rides makes reaching an event straightforward even if it’s your first time in the city.
When you have a little time before or after the show, Erfurt rewards you with memorable walks that don’t require heavy planning. Domplatz, with its cathedral and the views from Zitadelle Petersberg, delivers that instant “wow,” while Krämerbrücke is perfect for a relaxed stroll past small shops and cafés. Wander through the old town toward Fischmarkt, follow the Gera river through calmer pockets of the center, and round out the experience with local cuisine before heading back to the stands or the crowd.
