One Last Polka: Sachsenheim Hall Closes After 115 Years

After more than 115 years, Sachsenheim Hall is closing for good on September 27. Before it does, there is one last dance — and everyone is invited.

The Gemütlichkeit Cleveländer Musikanten are hosting One Last Polka, a farewell evening at the hall.

One Last Polka

  • Wednesday, September 23, 2026, 7:00 to 10:00 PM
  • Sachsenheim Hall, 7001 Denison Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44102
  • Free admission, open to the public

In the organizers' words: after more than 115 years of music, laughter and tradition, they invite you to raise a glass and share one final evening at the Sachsenheim — and to fill the hall with music, memories and Gemütlichkeit one last time.

Cleveland's German halls have kept this city's traditions alive for generations, and there are fewer of them every year. If you have ever danced at the Sachsenheim, this is the last chance.

Our own hall is still going strong after 150 years, and we intend to keep it that way. If you would like to help, become a member or come to something.
