Just like these historically grown companies, take the opportunity to start your triumphal procession in Wuppertal.

No congress without a supporting program
Wuppertal is the greenest city in Germany and therefore the best environment for outdoor and social programs at congresses in the Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal.

Modern art and French painting of the 19th century is offered by the Von der Heydt Museum, whose special exhibitions always arouse national interest. One thing you should definitely offer your conference or congress participants is a ride on the suspension railroad, which remains unique.
Today, many companies and decision-makers want event partners who support them in making their events more environmentally friendly and ecological. Because sustainable action is also feasible in the event and congress business. We would like to help you as a planner.

We are meeting this challenge with smaller and larger projects in the areas of: Resource management, energy efficiency, waste avoidance, innovative technology, awareness raising for all processes. We are happy to pass on this know-how.

They support everything that protects our environment and act accordingly to save valuable resources. This statement has been anchored in the company's philosophy since the beginning and is now expressed in an all-encompassing and universal way by the term sustainability.
By purchasing regional products, CULINARIA has short transport routes and thus reduces CO2 emissions. Just as through the preferred use of seasonal fruits and vegetables. CULINARIA trains to avoid food waste - and addresses the waste of our food during training.
They reduce the ecological impact of their work by using appropriately certified, environmentally friendly cleaning products. Of course, vegetarian and vegan food alternatives are also available.

They celebrate with sustainable heat from Wuppertal. By switching to Talwärme 2021, we have been awarded the "Climate Protector Badge" as a model municipal building committed to climate protection. Here we use district heating generated in our municipal waste incineration plant. The green electricity is purchased from WSW. In terms of electricity, the Historische Stadthalle saves 200.5 T CO2 annually.
By constantly replacing defective faucets with faucets with Aqua-Stopp, the event location also saves on water.
Cleaning agents are largely dispensed with when cleaning the building, thanks to ozone cleaning. If an agent should nevertheless be used, then of course only products with blue angel.
