The hall on the Mühlenstraße is the events centre not only for Cloppenburg but for the district around it, which has nothing else of the size. Over more than 1,300 square metres it is set up for anything from ten people to fifteen hundred — congresses, fairs, exhibitions, cabaret, touring concerts. The adjoining Münsterlandhalle, once the town's cattle market, takes the loud end of the programme: rock concerts, public viewings, school leavers' balls. Both are run by the municipal Stadthallenbetriebs GmbH.
