Mannheim, Germany
The Alte Feuerwache in Mannheim is a former fire station from the early 20th century, converted into one of the city's most active cultural centres. It hosts concerts, theatre, readings, and club nights across several halls and an open-air courtyard. The programme leans toward independent, world, and alternative music, as well as socially engaged arts projects.
