This is the central venue for major (sports) events in the heart of the city center—highlights such as the “Socca World Cup” and the “Tage der Überflieger” have already taken place here.

Located right next to Essen Cathedral, Burgplatz combines a historic setting with a modern urban atmosphere. At 4,800 m², it is the second-largest square in the city center.

Kopstadtplatz is a modern square with an urban ambience, ideal for creative events, art activities and pop-up events—especially for a younger audience. With 946 m² of usable space, it offers room for flexible concepts right in the heart of the city.

As a gateway to the city center, Willy-Brandt-Platz enjoys a central, lively location with plenty of passing foot traffic. It is particularly suitable for promotional activities, mobile exhibitions or smaller stage events. Its proximity to the main train station makes it especially attractive from a logistical perspective.
