Dome in Halle

The cathedral of Halle is the oldest existing church building in Halle an der Saale. The sacred building, located on the edge of the old town, was originally founded by the Dominicans. Since 1688 the Reformed congregation has found a home in the cathedral. The Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg gave the church to the congregation "for eternal use". When the persecuted Huguenots came to Halle, the German and French Reformed formed a considerable minority in the city with its own grammar school and retirement homes, with services in German and French. Today there are about 250 parishioners spread throughout the city and the surrounding area. The distances are long, but many take it upon themselves to come to church. Seis Akustik provided the audio concept for the renewal of the loudspeaker system in the cathedral. An SDA290pro digital amplifier system, special CX series loudspeakers and modern UHF radio microphone technology now ensure good speech intelligibility in the demanding church interior and are the solution to the long-standing acoustic problems of the parish.
