The Last Dance
1962 to 2023 - A Farewell to the Königshügel Sports Hall
Wednesday, April 12, 2023
After 61 years, the time has come to say goodbye to the Königshügel Sports Hall Complex. In May, the hall will be demolished to make room for a modern, larger sports facility. But before the hall doors are closed, there can still be sweated, jumped and danced. Over a drink together, everyone can once more reminisce.
The profit of the event will be donated to Right to Play.

Common Farewell for Everyone
The Last Dance, the common farewell event of the Königshügel Sports Hall, will take place on Wednesday, April 12th and is organized by the Asta and the Sports Department. Students and staff of the Aachen universities and all others who have taken the hall to their hearts can say goodbye to the hall with three rounds of Fitness with Music and a ballroom dance. Registration is required to participate and is free of charge. Without registration it is not possible to enter the hall.
One Last Time "Kontakthüpfen"
Behind the simple name Fitness with Music is one of the most popular sports programs offered by the University Sports Center. Among students, the endurance and strength training is better known as Kontakthüpfen. Students work out together in a large group to rousing music. Many friendships began while Fitness with Music was practiced together in the Königshügel Sports Hall. Kontakthüpfen is closely connected with the sports hall, most of the courses took place in the big hall.
From 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., all Fitness with Music enthusiasts can once again really work out in the Königshügel Sports Hall in three rounds of Fitness with Music.
During the new construction, Fitness with Music will move to the interim building for the time being, before continuing in the new Königshügel Sports Hall.
Ceremonial Conclusion with a Round of Ballroom Dancing
After the three courses of Fitness with Music following will literally be the "Last Dance". From 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the dance floor opens up and ballroom dancing takes over the Königshügel Sports Hall for one last round of waltzes, foxtrot, cha-cha and many more.
Casual Finish with a Drink Together
Parallel to the sport, a round of drinks that takes place from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. would be offered on the outdoor Fitness site 1, directly beside the sport hall. There, everyone can enjoy the last day of the sports hall together.
