The Convention Center was completed in 1903 in the architectural style that followed the tradition of the German Renaissance.
The building was designed by the Heidelberg architects Jakob Henkenhaf and Friedrich Ebert and was completed in 1903. The architectural style, following the tradition of the German Renaissance, is also to be found at the Friedrich Building of the Heidelberg Castle. The south facade facing the "Untere Neckarstrasse" depicts portraits of university professors and famous artists, such as Karl Adolf von Vangerow, Johannes Caspar Bluntschli, Karl Josef Anton Mittermaier, Adolf Kussmann, Albert Mays, Karl Gottfried Nadler and the composers Richard Wagner, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, Franz Liszt and Ludwig van Beethoven.
The cultural and academic exchange of knowledge looks back to a long tradition in Heidelberg, a tradition that is continued in the City Convention Center. Versatile in its functions, it is used for seminars, conventions, concerts, gala dinners, balls and other cultural and social events.
