The music pavilion was designed by Max Scherberger, who was also stress analyst of the Schlossbergturm (Schlossberg tower), and built in 1969. The shape of the roof is a hyperbolic paraboloid. The bent surface of the unsupported roof are assembled with straight wooden elements. It was the first roof in the Federal Republic of Germany built in that way. The abutment made of concrete was drafted by Immo Kirsch, then head of the department for building construction. In summer 2015, during a routine check water was detected within the roof. This meant that there was a danger of the building collapsing. Originally, the renovation was planned to be finished by July 2016, but due to rainy weather the completion was postponed to September when events started to take place again. Im September konnten jedoch wieder Veranstaltungen stattfinden.
