Venue Hire

Located in the heart of Hamburg between the central station and HafenCity, Deichtorhallen Hamburg offers companies, agencies, and institutions an exceptional event venue within a unique cultural setting.

The historic Hall for Contemporary Art and Phoxxi are among Europe’s leading exhibition venues for contemporary art and photography and are available for exclusive hire on selected dates.

Whether for a corporate event, workshop, reception, dinner, or presentation, we provide the ideal setting for inspiration, dialogue, and meaningful connections. The combination of striking architecture, generous spaces, and a vibrant artistic environment creates a distinctive atmosphere that your guests experience from the moment they arrive.

Experience meets Expertise
Art is more than just a backdrop – it becomes part of the experience. We are delighted to enhance your event programme with tailored formats, including exclusive guided tours of the current exhibition, inspiring talks, and interactive workshops.

This creates a memorable experience for your guests – one that resonates long after the event itself.

  • Sustainability

    As one of eleven museums, exhibition venues, and memorial sites in Hamburg, we are committed to addressing one of the defining challenges of our time: the global transformation towards sustainability. Hamburg’s climate targets aim to reduce the city’s emissions by 70% compared to 1990 levels by 2030 and achieve net carbon neutrality by 2040. Culture can – and must – contribute to this transition while ensuring that access to art and culture remains open to all.

    Through the Elf zu Null (“Eleven to Zero”) initiative, eleven institutions have joined forces in a pioneering nationwide project to take collective responsibility and advance the ecological transformation of their venues in a consistent and sustainable way. The focus is always on tangible action.

    Our ambition is not only to contribute to Hamburg’s climate goals, but also to strengthen the long-term resilience of museums, exhibition venues, and memorial sites as part of society’s broader path towards climate neutrality.
