Where is the Blaue Salon?
The cinema hall of the Hochschule für Gestaltung is located in the so-called Hallenbau, a former industrial building on Lorenzstraße. The 320-metre-long building cannot be overlooked and houses the ZKM - Center for Art and Media in addition to the university. The entrance on the west side can be reached via Lorenzstraße. The entrance on the east side is opposite the new buildings of the employment agency and the federal prosecutor's office.

You will find us on the first floor of the Hochschule für Gestaltung, Lichthof 4, room 012. Detailed description: Go into the building of the Hochschule für Gestaltung (entrance Lorenzstraße 15, main entrance). Cross the large atriums until you are approximately in the middle of the hall-like structure. When you see a large display board with the cinema program, you have found us.
