Venue
Weinbrennersaal
The Weinbrennersaal, designed by Friedrich Weinbrenner in 1824, is the oldest surviving part of the Kurhaus Baden-Baden. Eleven meters high and featuring magnificent chandeliers, the classical hall is distinguished by its special atmosphere. It originally served as a location for promenades: people would walk, chat, listen to the music, and occasionally risk a few guilders at the gambling tables next door. Today, the Weinbrennersaal is mainly used by the Philharmonie Baden-Baden.
