Serving as both a home for the airship "Theo" and a multifunctional event hall for 1,500 people, the hangar emphasizes the use of renewable materials, earning the DGNB Gold certification. Its design mirrors historical aesthetics while introducing contemporary elements, including a fully recyclable aluminum facade that interacts dynamically with light. The interior balances warmth with the exterior's coolness, while massive, theater-like gates add dramatic flair, affirming the hangar's place as a landmark in Mülheim an der Ruhr.
