KCAP has transformed the industrial building on the site of the new Aeschbachquartier (master plan from KCAP) into an event hall and expanded it with apartments, offices, conference rooms, aparthotel and restaurant. Today it functions as a community center, but also as a center for regional events or national conferences.
The Aeschbachhalle preserves the industrial history of the area and shapes the identity of the district. The existing structure was deliberately preserved in its further state, including wear and graffiti.
