Pop and jazz, coffee and cakes Lola

In Bergedorf a police station was moved in 1992. What remained was an old building, whose further use was up for discussion. Dedicated people with a healthy sense of community turned it into a cultural centre that has enriched the life of the district to this day.

Thalia Gaußstraße

The programme at Thalia on Gaußstraße will have a particular emphasis on the multinational connection and at the same time will be a creative location for unusual and young art initiatives.

Gaußstraße is a constantly developing construction site. In the past ten years, it has changed from a factory site into a creative centre with the charm of a New York backyard. The two most important stage ensembles in Hamburg rehearse here (Thalia and Schauspielhaus). And Thalia has captured a venue here. We keep on designing: the foyer will be more open, spacious and comfortable, and invite communication even more decisively. The second venue beside the Thalia Gauß will in future be the Thalia Gauß Garage, a location with patina.

The construction work continues, and with the imminent new construction of the Hamburg Theaterakademie, Gaußstraße will develop into a campus of the performing arts.
