Jahn's Hall


Jahn's Hall was a concert hall in late 18th century Vienna. It was the property of a restaurateur/caterer named Ignaz Jahn, and seated (according to Deutsch) "400 at the most". It is remembered as a performance venue for works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Jahn was born in Hungary in 1744 and died in Vienna, 26 February 1810. He was appointed Imperial caterer for Schönbrunn Palace in 1772. In 1775 he began running a restaurant in the Augarten, and in 1782 opened an adjacent concert hall, at which many famous musicians played over the years.

Jahn's Hall was a part of Jahn's restaurant, in the main part of the city, which as of 1788 was at 6 Himmelpfortgasse. Concerts began there after the restaurant opened, and were given on a regular basis starting in 1790.
