Kulturpalast Dresden

In 1971, Kulturpalast Dresden was the founding venue of the INTERNATIONALES DIXIELAND FESTIVAL Dresden. It was a modernist GDR building by architect Wolfgang Hänsch, opened in 1969, and had the largest multi-purpose hall in the city of Dresden, which was used for concerts, dance and entertainment events as well as meetings and congresses.

On 28 April 2017, the completely modernised Kulturpalast at Altmarkt opened its doors. The newly built concert hall is the heart of the building and the home of the Dresdner Philharmonie. With its outstanding acoustics and striking architecture, it forms the musical centre of Dresden and is the „first address“ for local ensembles and visiting stars.

The spacious foyers connect all facilities and rooms (cabaret „Die Herkuleskeule“, the municipal central library, exhibitions, and more) and invite visitors to stroll and linger. This is also where ticket sales are located.
On the ground floor, the Restaurant & Café Palastecke rounds off the offerings at Kulturpalast with fresh, modern cuisine made from local produce. During your concert visit, Palastecke also provides snacks and drinks at the interval bars.
