About Forum Maximum

Forum Maximum refers to the historic cabaret and performing-arts spaces once housed inside the Rex-Theater building in Wuppertal. With two halls totaling roughly 600 seats (large hall around 507 seats and a small hall around 100 seats), this venue was a cornerstone of the region’s live performance scene. While Forum Maximum as a standalone venue is no longer active, the Rex-Theater has since been renovated and operates as Rex Filmtheater (cinema) since February 2015. This page provides a comprehensive overview for visitors seeking context, seating basics, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options.
