The Kaiser-Friedrich-Halle in Mönchengladbach, Hohenzollernstraße 15, was built in Art Nouveau between 1901 and 1903. Architects were Friedrich Wilhelm Wertz and Paul Huber from Wiesbaden. At that time, private donors brought up 300,000 marks and thus about half of the construction sum. The hall was named after Emperor Friedrich III. (1831–1888), who was emperor for only 99 days.
