For more than 40 years, the concert hall in the Historischer Reitstadel has been used for top-class music events; due to its outstanding acoustics, it also ranks among the best chamber music halls. However, the seating from 1980/81 had to be professionally restored while taking into account the main goal of maintaining the excellent acoustics in the concert hall. In addition, the parquet flooring was sanded and resealed.

As part of the renovation work, the replacement of the historic seats‘ fabric and upholstery was planned. The number of seats, row spacing, and seat height were to remain unchanged. In order to maintain the high acoustic qualities of the hall, extensive acoustic measurements were carried out – both in the Reitstadel itself and the company's testing facilities such as the reverberation room, the small reverberation chamber, and the materials testing laboratory. Room acoustic tests were performed on both the existing and refurbished seats, and cover fabrics and upholstery were tested and optimized in consultation with the seat manufacturer.
