Residenz Im Salzlager is a cultural venue located in Essen, Germany, housed within a former salt storage building – hence its name, translating to “Residence in the Salt Storage.” Originally part of the Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Salzlager was repurposed in the 1990s as a space for concerts, exhibitions, and other artistic events. The venue is known for its industrial aesthetic; retaining much of its original architectural character including high ceilings and exposed brickwork. It’s considered an important location within Essen’s cultural landscape due to its historical significance and contribution to the city's post-industrial revitalization. The space generally hosts performances spanning diverse genres including jazz, world music, and electronic music.
