K.B. Hallen was a multi-purpose venue in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was opened in 1938 by King Christian the 10th, but a fire damaged the roof and the interior of the grand hall severely on 28 September 2011. It is still being discussed if it will be possible to restore it to its former glory. According to engineer, Erik Nielsen from Jørgen Nielsen A/S, who has been examining the concreteconstructions of the roof for the Danish State (Kulturstyrelsen), it is safe and absolutely possible to restore the roof and hall. The KB club though has plans of building a new more economical multi-purpose hall, and their advising engineer COWI has recommended to tear down the Hall. The Hall is named after Kjøbenhavns Boldklub, Copenhagen's first ball-playing club, which was established in 1876, and who till this day still owns the building. As a concert hall, it held a capacity of 3,000 people and was often the scene of rock and pop concerts, and in 1964 The Beatles played their first and only concert on Danish grounds in K.B.Hallen. It was used primarily for badminton, tennis, basketball and volleyball, but also hosted other events, including dance tournaments and flea markets.〔()〕 ==History== The hall was completed in 1938 and was then Europe's biggest private sports complex.
