open-air stage on the Old Rhine

The Old Rhine evolved long ago when the Rhine had not yet been straightened and was still meandering and winding its way through the landscape. Today it is a green oasis in the middle of the town.

The Seebühne open-air stage, a wooden platform on the bank of the Old Rhine which has undergone rehabilitation to improve its ecological status, is a beautiful place to linger. The big platform made of wood has a surface area of approximately 75m². It had its opening night in July 2003 and has since staged events of all kinds, such as the annual Kultursommer summer of cultural events in Kehl. The open-air stage gives the impression of walking on water. The grassy area in front of the stage has some steps forming natural seating areas and can accommodate more than 800 spectators.
