The original conference hall, now housing the Forum der Technik which always attracts crowds of visitors, was for decades one of Munich's principal venues. It was here that the Christian Socialist Union (CSU) was founded in November 1945 and the German trade union federation was formed in 1949. Many well-known artists also appeared at the hall.
