“Jess Glynne Rocks the Stage at Capitol in Offenbach: Celebrating 25 Years as an Event Location”

On October 21, the Capitol in Offenbach celebrates its 25th anniversary in its current function as a versatile event location. A colorful quarter of a century: In February 2000, Thomas Gottschalk used the dome of the Offenbach Capitol to look back on five decades of television history for ZDF and brought together the former “mother of the nation” Inge Meysel, the legendary rock band Deep Purple with their super hit “Smoke on the water” and finally the “beast” Joan Collins from the eighties cult series “Denver Clan” on a stage. 2015 represents the British top group Coldplay their album “A Head Full Of Dreams” there. Other internationally successful musicians such as James Blunt, One Republic, Jess Glynne, Eminem, Chris Rea, Kim Wilde and Maroon 5 have also been guests at the city’s event venue. In autumn 2021, the Capitol will be the stage for the presentation of the Hessian Film Prize, with Volker Schlöndorff present. The Oscar winner, to whom an exhibition is being dedicated in Wiesbaden, the city of his birth, received the honorary award at the time.

But the Offenbach entertainment location is not only a stage for concerts, shows and award ceremonies, companies have long since discovered the house as a special place for presentations and company celebrations. For example, Capitol Managing Director Birgit von Hellborn remembers the premiere of a now popular “Tischlein, deck dich” surprise, where the flying buffet for a company event is not carried through the hall by service staff on trays, as is usually the case under this heading . For the first time in the Capitol, a set table for 80 people floated from the ceiling into the hall – lowered by the Capitol staff. Since everything worked without problems, this special form of the flying snack has been regularly ordered by companies since then, according to Hellborn.
