The Markus-Sittikus-Saal is a renowned concert hall located within the former Jewish school building in Hohenems. Originally constructed in 1876 as a school for the Jewish community, it served as a cultural and educational center until its closure in 1938 following the Nazi annexation of Austria. The building underwent extensive renovation in the 1990s, transforming it into a modern performance space while preserving its historical character. The Saal is celebrated for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere, making it a favored venue for chamber music, vocal performances, and experimental music projects. It’s now an integral part of the cultural landscape of Vorarlberg.
