Maimarkthalle — Mannheim's Largest Event Hall
The Maimarkthalle at Xaver-Fuhr-Straße 101 is the city's largest event center, with space for around 20,000 visitors. During Time Warp, the hall is divided into five floors — each with its own sound system, lighting concept, and musical identity. The awareness concept and safety standards have been at the highest level for years; the team emphasizes respect and inclusion.
Mannheim as a Techno City
With approximately 313,000 inhabitants, Mannheim is the second-largest city in Baden-Württemberg and a major techno hub in Germany. Time Warp was founded here in 1994 and has made the city a fixture in the international electronic music scene. The grid-like city center, the palace, and the harbor shape the cityscape — the Maimarkthalle is located about 5 km east of the center in the Neckarstadt-Ost district.
