The name comes from the fact that the main building in the years 1904-69 was a municipal [slaughterhouse](/source/Slaughterhouse). The building complex was designed by the city architect in Malmö [Salomon Sörensen](/source/Salomon_S%C3%B6rensen). The thirteen-storey office building, "Malmö Slagthus", which was completed in 1993, is part of the Slagthus complex. The architect for the high-rise building and the rebuilding of the slaughterhouse was [Ahlsén & Lindström architects](/source/Ahls%C3%A9n_%26_Lindstr%C3%B6m_architects). [Mindpark Malmö City AB](/source/Mindpark_Malm%C3%B6_City_AB) runs coworking, meeting and event activities in parts of the high-rise building. The property is owned by [Wihlborgs](/source/Wihlborgs). In 2021, it was decided that Totte Lundgren, who owns [Kulturbolaget](/source/Kulturbolaget) and [Hans Palm](/source/Hans_Palm), would have started [Nyhamnen Nöje & Events](/source/Nyhamnen_N%C3%B6je_%26_Events) and taken over the operations at Slagthuset after it was officially closed in March 2021.[1] ## Entertainment and events [Claes Schmidt](/source/Claes_Schmidt) and Anita Schmidt ran the business of the whole Slaghthuset on a large scale between 1993 and 2009. Slaghthuset soon became popular and in the meantime counted among the Schmidt's [Scandinavia](/source/Scandinavia)'s biggest [nightclub](/source/Nightclub), with its 8500 square meters. However, it had problems handling the large amount of loud visitors.[2][3] Nowadays, the nightclub area is usually smaller. Between 2007 and 2009, artists such as [Axwell](/source/Axwell), [Eric Prydz](/source/Eric_Prydz), [Fedde le Grand](/source/Fedde_le_Grand), [Benny Benassi](/source/Benny_Benassi), [Kate Ryan](/source/Kate_Ryan), [Niki Belucci](/source/Niki_Belucci) and [Petter](/source/Petter_(rappare)) attended at the Slagthuset several times. Many famous artists and [DJ](/source/DJ)'s have performed at Slagthuset's nightclub, such as [David Guetta](/source/David_Guetta), [Avicii](/source/Avicii), [Laidback Luke](/source/Laidback_Luke), [Public Enemy](/source/Public_Enemy), etc. Under the administration of Ace Event, large music parties were arranged from 2004, such as with [Tiesto](/source/Tiesto) (2004), the first time a world-leading DJ performed in Malmö, and the audience record-breaking club [Ministry of Sound](/source/Ministry_of_Sound).[4] In 2009, the business was taken over by Luftkastellet,[5] then in 2012 it was reorganized with the current owner, [Joingruppen AB](/source/Joingruppen_AB) (which also ran restaurants at the nearby [Media Evolution City](/source/Media_Evolution_City) and [Studio](/source/Studio_(building))).[6] Until the summer of 2012, the [Öresund group](/source/%C3%96resund_group), under the name Slagthuset White administered the nightclub. Slagthuset hosted Euroclub in 2013 as the [Eurovision Song Contest](/source/Eurovision_Song_Contest_2013) was hosted in Malmö. In connection with that, the pop hit Euphoria was also offered by [Gudrun Hauksdottir](/source/Gudrun_Hauksdottir) and others. On the 1st of November 2013, Slagthuset returned to its original concept, with several larger dance floors and targeting a wider audience with [house](/source/House_music), [RnB](/source/RnB) and [schlager](/source/Schlager) music. The premises also host larger events such as [fairs](/source/Trade_fair) (including the annual [Kulturmässan](/source/Kulturm%C3%A4ssan)) and [conferences](/source/Conferences) such as [Media Evolution City](/source/Media_Evolution_City)'s international [The Conference](/source/The_Conference) and [Nordic Game](/source/Nordic_Game).
