Architectural photographer Roland Halbe has sent us his photographs of a conference centre in Offenburg, Germany, designed by Freiburg architects Hetzel & Ortholf.

Called Stadthalle Offenburg, the project involved converting a 1960s warehouse to house the new auditorium and adding a glazed foyer.

The roof of the foyer overhangs the glass walls, supported by angled columns.

Ein neues, gläsernes Foyer verbindet die Oberrheinhalle mit der vorhandenen Ortenauhalle und bildet damit das neue Veranstaltungszentrum Offenburg.

Can you help me? I am trying to get information about the Ruef Grossmarkte that was in Offenburg when we lived there in 1990. Is it still there (7600 Offenburg-Elgersweier – Industrie Strasse 6)?
