Regentenbau Concert Hall

The Regentenbau (German for "regent's building") is a concert hall in the town Bad Kissingen in Bavaria, Germany, built from 1911 to 1913 in a neo-baroque style according to the plans of the architect Max Littmann. From the opening until 1918 the Vienna Symphony as the saisonal spa orchestra performed its evening concerts at the Regentenbau. The Munich Philharmonic followed from 1919 to 1942. Then musical life ended because of the Second World War. After the war the Regentenbau was occupied by the American troops for two years. Musical life started again in 1950 with the Hofer Symphoniker (until 1979). Since 1986 the Regentenbau is the main location of the festival Kissinger Sommer.
