The "Neue Weimarhalle" conference centre

Taking the layout and traditions of the historical old building as their basis, architects von Gerkan, Marg and Partners have created an architectural and functiona masterpiece in the form of the new Weimarhalle conference centre.
DORMA Hüppe movable walls constitute an integral component of their nested hall within a hall concept. They embrace the large conference room – the inner timber hall, this being surrounded by an outer glasshouse offering full transparency to the outside world.

The Variflex Top Automatic movable walls add to the flexibility that is so vital for modern conference management purposes.
If the Variflex partitions are opened on both floors, they reveal the panoramic view of the outside to those inside the timber hall.

At the push of a button and within just a few minutes the capacity of the hall can thus
be doubled from 700 to 1400 seats.
The seminar rooms can also be combined to produce different sizes - thanks to the incorporation of DORMA Hüppe movable walls.
Closer inspection reveals a symphony of design elegance with the mix of materials
having been consistently applied throughout. All Variflex partitions of the inner timber structure have been specially finished with a transverse veneer comprising round section cherrywood rods.

The sensuous interplay between dynamically aligned structures and the warm colour
tones of high-grade wood panelling enhance the unique atmosphere and charm of the
hall complex. And DORMA Hüppe’s contribution to this splendid architectural composition was indeed significant.
