OVERVIEW • THE ZENITH COMPLEX

A UNIQUE VENUE FOR A UNIQUE EVENT

Welcome to Munich and to Euro Cine Expo! The location of our inaugural Euro Cine Expo is the exclusive and unique Motorworld complex, where we hope you will be able to enjoy a relaxed and highly rewarding experience throughout the event.

Motorworld München is located on the site of the former Deutsche Bahn railway repair shop in Munich-Freimann. Its centrepiece is the impressive listed Lokhalle where locomotives used to be repaired. With its gigantic dimensions – 185 metres long, 90 metres wide and 18 metres high – it is one of Europe’s largest self-supporting steel structure halls. Admission is free 365 days a year.

DURING THE EVENT

Euro Cine Expo is not just a trade exhibition, we are bringing together the European film & TV world, with networking opportunities, and the chance to share knowledge and build new connections.

We have fantastic food vendors, bars and some very special entertainment planned for the evenings!

Euro Cine Expo will have a festival feel throughout the day and into the evening. Street food vendors, outside exhibits and other exciting activities will be taking place during the event.

After the show closes at 6pm on Friday, we invite all visitors and exhibitors to join a networking event hosted at The Kohlebunker from 6.008.00pm, where guests can kick back and enjoy tunes from our DJ, and grab refreshments from our bar and street food vendors. Everyone is welcome, so don’t miss this great opportunity to catch up with colleagues, socialise and network and make new connections.

THE ZENITH KULTURHALL - EXHIBITOR HALL

The Zenith is a stunning venue in the vibrant city of Munich, Euro Cine Expo will make the most of its surroundings to create a unique experience, by hosting over 100 exhibitors from across Europe and beyond.

Zenith, known as a concert and event hall far beyond Munich, is a jewel among the Munich event venues for events, shows, concerts, trade fairs and much more due to its special architectural features.

The listed Zenith cultural hall, a former iron workshop, was built between 1916 and 1918 by order of King Ludwig III of Bavaria. Constructed by Krupp, this historic industrial building served various purposes through the decades, first as the press workshop of the Krupp cannon works, then as a boiler forge of the German Imperial Railways, and later as a locomotive repair shop of the Federal Railways and a suburban railway repair workshop.

THE KESSELHAUS - SEMINAR THEATRE

Our seminar and presentation programme runs throughout the two days of the Expo, and is free-of-charge for attendees. Full details can be found on pages {what to what}.

The prestigious Kesselhaus (Boiler House) was lovingly and elaborately converted into an event venue in 2007. Since then it has enjoyed great popularity – events, functions, company celebrations, as well as nationally and internationally renowned artists, bring back long-spent energy.

The Kesselhaus was designed at the beginning of the last century by leading architects Theodor Fischer and Otto Ernst Schweizer. Its heavy steel frame construction, designed for a high load capacity, is still imposing today. As a power house, the Kesselhaus was the starting point for the rapid industrial and urban development of the entire district.

THE KOHLEBUNKER - NETWORKING AREA

The fascinating Kohlebunker (Coal Bunker) event venue aesthetically combines history with modernity. The “post-war ruin”, which until 1995 served as a coal depot for the Federal Railways, has been a modern event location since April 2016.

By combining the stone walls built in 1915 with the modern glass construction, the building perfectly complements the charm of the entire historic Motorworld ensemble in Munich.

Do take the time to explore everything Motorworld has to offer, from diverse restaurants, bars and themed hotels to shops, galleries and of course cars, there is something to delight all visitors!
