Capitol and Stadthalle photo competition decided
30.10.2025 – The checkrooms in the Capitol Theater and Stadthalle Offenbach have been given fresh eye-catchers: the team from the city's event venues held a photo competition to find the best pictures of the city of Offenbach and has now placed the winning motifs prominently in the backstage area.
"Behind the scenes, so to speak, we show the Offenbach behind the scenes," says Birgit von Hellborn, Managing Director of Capitol and Stadthalle Offenbach. "The motifs present the city from a new, personal perspective - authentic insights that would otherwise remain hidden and reflect Offenbach in a lively way."
The chance to permanently hang their own photos in dressing rooms for stars from Germany and abroad was obviously tempting: "With 185 entries, it was difficult for us to choose," reports von Hellborn. The team therefore chose two winners: photographers Thomas R. Lang and René Spalek. Lang's motif shows the Bembel boat on the Main and adorns the backstage area of the Stadthalle, among other places. Spalek's unusual views, for example of the Blue Crane at Offenbach harbour and the town hall, hang in the largest checkroom of the Capitol Theater Offenbach.
Since this fall, the pictures of all performing artists can be viewed in Stadtwerke Offenbach's event venues: These recently included Sold Out Award winners Suzanne Vega and Sascha Grammel, to be followed in the near future by Dr. Mark Benecke and Kaya Yanar, the H-Blockx and Urban Priol, for example. Speaking of which: his annual review at the Capitol on 13.12. is sold out, as are Feine Sahne Fischfilet on the same day at the Stadthalle and Biffy Clyro at the "Home of Rock'n'Roll" on 13.02.2026.
In addition to a look behind the scenes, it is also worth taking a regular look at the events calendar at www.capitol-online.de and www.stadthalle-offenbach.de (opens in a new tab).
