We are committed to continuously improve accessibility at our events and to make existing barriers transparent. We are thankful for feedback from our visitors and welcome your contacting us with suggestions for improvement or questions. Please contact us by phone + 49 421 520 80 70 (Mon, Wed—FRI 10 am— 2 pm) or via email to mail@schwankhalle.de.
The Schwankhalle is »accessible« (pursuant to DIN 18040-01). This applies to the entrances to the foyer, the Alte and Neue Saal and the sanitary facilities.
All event spaces of the Schwankhalle are at ground level and accessible without steps. The front entrance door to the foyer opens automatically after being briefly pulled (front door width: 96 cm). Unfortunately, the back entrance door from Peter Zadek Platz to the foyer does not open automatically (back door width: 100cm). In individual cases, both halls in the building as well as external venues may not be freely accessible for stage-related, technical reasons. We seek to indicate this accordingly.
Please preferably use our Online Ticket Sale. Remaining tickets (if available) can be purchased at the box office starting one hour before the event begins. If you don’t have the possibility of using our advance sale, please call or email us to reserve a ticket.
In the Schwankhalle, there is always free seating. If you require specific seats, please indicate your individual requirements when booking your ticket.
In the case of regular seating, we usually guarantee two wheelchair places. Depending on their availability, they can be reserved in advance.
If the stage design allows it, we offer beanbags as alternative seats. Depending on their availability, they can be reserved in advance.
If you require an accompanying person for your visit, please indicate this when booking your ticket so we can reserve a free ticket for them.
We ask you to arrive 30 minutes before the event begins at the latest, to ensure smooth check-in and admission. Admission is not possible after the show has started.
Please turn to our evening staff if you have special needs or require our support. In case of questions or technical problems, please contact our ticket hotline: + 49 421 520 80 70 (Mon, Wed—FRI 10 am— 2 pm) or ticket@schwankhalle.de.
Assistance dogs are welcome in the Schwankhalle! To ensure a relaxed stay for dog, dog owner and audience, we kindly ask you to contact us by phone or email before your visit.
We make every effort to provide specific information on the accessibility of every event—they can be found at the bottom of the respective event pages. The information provided is on the seating possibilities in the halls, special sensory stimuli (e.g., light and sound effects, stage smoke) as well as possible thematic triggers. Please do not hesitate to contact us, if you do not find all the information you need.
