Coat of arms hall

The reception hall of Munich-Riem Airport was called the Wappenhalle.

The coat of arms hall was planned by the architect Ernst Sagebiel and built in 1939. Due to the Second World War, however, the hall could not be used for civil use and was partially destroyed during the war. It was not until 1951, 12 years after construction, that the reception hall of the Riem airport could be fully used for the first time.

On June 16, 1951, the modernized coat of arms hall at Riem Airport was officially opened.

The coat of arms hall was placed under monument protection after the closure of Munich-Riem Airport in 1995 and is therefore one of the few Memories of Riem AirportOn September 8, 2000, the competition for the conversion and redesign of the area surrounding the Wappenhalle (Crest Hall) of the former Riem Airport was decided. The Munich-based firm Perret, Reichert, Pranschke, and Maluche prevailed with their proposal and were awarded the contract to develop approximately 33,000 square meters of office space on the nearly 16,500 square meter site. The new Wappenhalle was completed in 2003 and now serves as an event location. The annex also features a business center.
