The Saalgärten Rudolstadt socio-cultural center was created from a former factory building after several years of renovation. It is run by the town of Rudolstadt. Here, people of all ages can meet and be active in a wide variety of areas. The house attracts visitors with a varied program of cinema, readings, theater, workshops and concerts. The spectrum ranges from hardcore festivals, electropop, reggae & dancehall to alternative and all genres of DJ culture.

Rooms that can be used in a variety of ways invite you to communicate - in a concentrated or relaxed atmosphere.

The "saalgärten" are a meeting place for people and their cultures, offering a varied cultural and educational program. The work of the socio-cultural center includes promoting the integration of different age groups, social classes and nationalities, the support and promotion of social and political work and the realization of democratic decision-making structures.
