An organizer had canceled open-air concerts and musical performances for 2025 due to legal noise protection regulations. To enable concerts in the Ehrenhof in the long term, the Schönbrunn Group is relying on a feasibility study that aims to develop an innovative sound system concept.

"The results should enable measures that improve the sound experience while optimizing noise protection," explained Klaus Panholzer, Managing Director of the Schönbrunn Group, in a statement. Both the legal requirements of the Vienna event authority (MA 36) and the monument preservation requirements are being considered.

Test Run for Acoustic Concept at Paul Kalkbrenner Concert

A central element of the study is a test concert by the German musician Paul Kalkbrenner on September 12 in the Ehrenhof. The insights gained during the event are to be incorporated into the final optimization of the acoustic concept.

"The final results will be coordinated with the responsible authorities and published," emphasized Wolfgang Sauter from ProPerformance, the company commissioned for sound and acoustics.

The study relies on the latest technologies for directed sound distribution. Planned are:

The aim is to develop a sustainable solution for cultural events in the Ehrenhof and to enable the long-term use of the historic site as a concert venue.
