Ernsting Stiftung Alter Hof Herding

Located in Coesfeld, the konzert theater coesfeld is a purpose-built cultural venue combining the qualities of a modern concert hall and theatre. Operated by the Ernsting Stiftung Alter Hof Herding, the venue provides a distinctive setting for concerts, theatre productions, musical theatre, dance, ballet, cabaret, entertainment and performances for younger audiences.

The main auditorium accommodates around 623 guests and has been designed to provide clear sightlines and strong acoustics throughout the room. Its adaptable technical and spatial concept allows the stage to be configured in several formats, including a traditional front-facing stage, arena arrangement, central walkway, show staircase and studio-style presentation. This flexibility makes the venue suitable for a varied programme of live performances and presentation-led events.

For event organisers, the venue offers the character and technical qualities of a professional performance house rather than a standard meeting room. It can be considered for concerts, cultural programmes, award ceremonies, talks, presentations, showcases and other events where atmosphere, stage presence and audience experience are important. The building is supported by free parking directly outside, accessible parking and an accessible entrance, helping to simplify guest arrival and attendance.

The venue maintains an active annual programme and works with professional artists, regional cultural organisations, local initiatives and emerging talent. Its location in Coesfeld makes it a notable event destination in the western Münsterland region, particularly for organisers seeking a high-quality indoor setting for performances, public programmes or stage-based events.
