Cultural Center KUZ, Mainz

The KUZ – Mainz Cultural Center is a vibrant cultural and event hub located near the Rhine, blending its rich history with modern functionality. Originally established in 1981, the red brick building became a beloved venue for theatre, music, and cabaret performances, making it a central part of Mainz's cultural scene. After closing in 2015 for extensive renovation, the center reopened in 2018 with upgraded facilities and cutting-edge technology, revitalizing its role as a major regional and national event destination.

With an industrial-historic charm, the KUZ offers 706 square meters of event space spread over two levels, accommodating up to 1,200 guests. It provides an ideal setting for conferences, road shows, corporate events, and digital or hybrid productions, thanks to its mobile production studio. The venue includes several distinct spaces: the Workshop (Werkhalle), known for its industrial ambiance; the modern Lecture Hall (Lehrsaal) for smaller gatherings; and the Washhouse (Waschhaus), which features both indoor and outdoor areas with a casual, bar-like atmosphere.

The combination of modern technology and historic architecture makes the KUZ a unique and flexible venue for a wide range of events, all set against the scenic backdrop of the Rhine River.
