The palace of culture was built in 1949–1952 and opened on 31 January 1952; its hall seated about a thousand. Planning began in 1949 on the initiative of the Soviet side: the management of the Soviet joint-stock company that then owned the Böhlen combine allocated funds to improve workers' living conditions, and the construction estimate was 11.8 million marks. In 1952 the combine's plants were returned to German ownership; in June 2002 the main hall was damaged by fire, and in 2006 the building passed to the town of Böhlen.

Планирование началось в 1949 году по инициативе советской стороны: руководство советского акционерного общества, которому тогда принадлежал Бёленский комбинат, выделило средства на улучшение условий жизни работников, смета строительства составила 11,8 миллиона марок. В 1952 году предприятия комбината возвращены в немецкую собственность; в июне 2002 года большой зал пострадал от пожара, в 2006 году здание перешло к городу Бёлен.
