As a cultural events centre, the ‘Festhalle Viersen’ is of major importance for Viersen and the entire border region. Its excellent acoustics and the renowned International Jazz Festival have made it popular beyond the borders. With the huge support of the entrepreneur Josef Kaiser, the building was completed in 1913. Today it is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and is an ideal venue for top-quality cultural events. This is true for the subscription series of the chamber and symphony concerts as well as for theatre, satirical revue and dance.
