If there is such a thing as the jazz gene, then you can hear it at work in the Clayton family. A skilled and versatile virtuoso on the double bass, John Clayton is equally at home in the worlds of classical music and jazz. Since the Eighties, he and his brother Jeff, who sadly died in 2020, have celebrated great successes with the “Clayton Brothers Jazz Quintet” and the “Clayton Hamilton Jazz Orchestra”. And the next generation of the family is also already famous internationally: born in the Netherlands in 1984 and raised in Los Angeles, John Clayton’s son Gerald is regarded as one of the major jazz pianists of the younger generation. And because the Claytons have a long-standing and close-knit relationship with the WDR Big Band, we can look forward to another exceptional family get-together.

Accessibility

It goes without saying that the Historische Stadthalle is equipped to provide access for disabled people.

Wheelchair ramps and lifts (with announcement) will provide you with easy access to all rooms.

Parking spaces for disabled people are available both in the multi-storey car park and in the Südstrasse car park.

Toilets for disabled people can be found on the ground floor (to the right of the main entrance) at the eastern end of the foyer. They are clearly signposted.

A wheelchair is available in the building.

An unlimited number of wheelchair places is available in the Großer Saal.

Our concierge, foyer team and culinaria staff are happy to help should you need assistance at any time.

Parking Flat Day Rate

Make use of our flat day rate for parking. It only costs 4 euros. One useful tip: you can pay at the pay stations in the multi-storey car park itself or in the stairwell either when you return to your vehicle or in advance of attending events. That will save you time waiting at the pay stations after the end of events.
