THE HALL
235 square meters | 8 meters high | no columns | air conditioning
From product presentations to TV productions and photo shoots, to pop-up stores, in-house exhibitions, and virtual events: In the column-free hall, there are virtually no limits to your project.
Delivery and installation of larger fixtures and objects (e.g., vehicles) can be handled with ease. Basic ambient lighting, suspension points, and electrical outlets, as well as the necessary internet bandwidth for streaming, are , of course, provided. The same goes for the hall’s air conditioning and heating, which utilize modern technology—including a HEPA filter system—powered by electricity from renewable energy sources. Adjacent rooms also offer ample space for reception areas, backstage areas, and post-production.
THE SPACES
2 Floors I 10 Rooms I Kitchen I Storage Space
In addition to the main hall, Hafen 12 offers ten more rooms—ranging in size from 10 square meters to 80 square meters—spread across two floors, as well as a courtyard overlooking the Rhine, all available for a variety of uses.
Through a spacious entrance area, you enter the ground-floor spaces, which feature an attractive mix of brick walls and glass surfaces —a total of approximately 200 square meters, spread across four rooms. Both the hall and the courtyard are accessible from the ground floor, allowing for flexible combined use of the spaces.
The upper floor covers approximately 200 square meters and is accessible both from the ground floor via a staircase and from the outside. Once upstairs, a large window offers a view of the spacious hall.
In addition to a kitchen and restrooms, the upper floor offers a total of six rooms —some with a view of the Rhine.
THE OUTDOOR AREA
100 square meters of courtyard | 400 square meters of green space | View of the Rhine
The interior spaces are perfectly complemented by a courtyard with an adjacent green space. The approximately 100-square-meter courtyard is accessible via a gate for delivery vehicles and food trucks. The ground-floor spaces are accessible via an entrance in the courtyard. From the elevated, approximately 400-square-meter green space—featuring mature trees and a brick wall—there is a spectacular view of the Rhine.
THE CONTAINERS
2 forty-foot containers | 3 twenty-foot containers
No port is complete without containers. In addition to the spaces at HAFEN 12, a two-story container installation is available for use. Five shipping containers are available as office space, a sound stage, a makeup room, storage, and, of course, as exciting indoor and outdoor backdrops. The expansive rooftop offers a spectacular view of the Rhine, while the adjacent green space with its trees provides a charming contrast.
THE POSSIBILITIES
Product Presentation | In-House Exhibition | TV Production | Workshop | Art Exhibition
For conferences, conventions, and seminars, our HAFEN 12 venue offers both spacious rooms for public presentations and smaller rooms for individual workshops and working groups.
The main hall and the spacious basement, in particular, offer ideal conditions for trade shows, product presentations, and showrooms of all kinds. The high-contrast ambiance is also perfect for staging fashion shows and, thanks to the variety of rooms, offers optimal design possibilities.
In addition, the outdoor area—featuring a courtyard and green space—opens up further options for product presentations or hosting event guests.
HAFEN 12 is also the perfect setting for film and photo productions. Our hall not only offers ample space but also the necessary height for sets and productions of all kinds—whether with or without an audience.
