Our hall for great show moments

Our large multifunctional hall in Karlsruhe ranks among the largest of its kind in Germany. Big TV shows, sporting events or company celebrations find a special stage in the dm-arena at Karlsruhe Trade Fair Centre, as do conventions and trade fairs. Spacious, modern and equipped with a special ceiling construction made of high-quality materials, the dm-arena conjures an atmosphere you wouldn’t expect from a multipurpose hall. Many stars and celebrities have already been our guests here.

My personal highlight of the dm-arena:

the variable area and seating concept, which offers options for formats of all kinds (show, sport, company event or TV production).
