In the location's words:

The striking hexagonal building is not only the center of the city's cultural program, but also attracts numerous external event organizers. German-speaking stages as well as internationally renowned orchestras, dance ensembles, comedians and other artists perform here. The Forum is also the largest venue for the world-famous "Leverkusen Jazz Days" and has welcomed many international stars.

The Forum also enjoys supra-regional popularity as a congress center. It is also home to the Leverkusen Adult Education Center and the municipal cinema.
