Bürgerforum (Hauptsaal)

Das Bürgerforum ist ein Veranstaltungssaal, den man beim ersten Betreten des Hans-Sachs-Hauses als solchen gar nicht wahrnimmt. Zu beeindruckend ist zunächst die Transparenz des Hauses in Richtung des Alfred-Fischer-Platzes und die imposante Höhe des Atriums. Erst auf den zweiten Blick erschließen sich die Bereiche, in denen Veranstaltungen stattfinden können.
