History

The architects Etzold, Strobl and Freymuth designed Alte Kongresshalle as part of the Convention Center at Messe München, which was modern for its time, in the years 1952/53. In its day, it was the largest hall of its kind. After the departure of Messe München in 1998, the hall was temporarily used by the Munich Construction Agency. [1]

Messe München GmbH is the operator of the Neue Messe München exhibition center, the ICM Internationales Congress Center München and the MOC Veranstaltungscenter München. The exhibition space of the 16 halls together is 180,000 m2 and another 425,000 m2 of outdoor area, making Messe München by far the holder of the largest outdoor area of all exhibition companies in Germany. Messe München organizes some 40 trade fairs for capital and consumer goods and key high-tech-industries in Munich and abroad.

Current situation

The Edith-Haberland-Wagner Foundation took over the property in 2004. The foundation restored and renovated the building in compliance with the monument protection provisions. The outdated technical components and the suspended ceilings were renewed, and the covered patio that existed during the Messe was exposed. The replanting was based on the original plan from the 1950s. [1]

Geographic coordinate system Coordinate system

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
