Kulturzentrum Schlachthof Wiesbaden is a vibrant cultural venue housed in a former municipal slaughterhouse near the city’s main train station. Founded in 1994, it has evolved into one of the Rhine-Main region’s leading centers for music, performance, and youth culture. The site includes two concert halls accommodating up to 2,000 guests, a restored water tower, and the adjacent Kulturpark. Its programming spans rock, punk, hip-hop, jazz, electro, and world music, alongside poetry slams, flea markets, and theater. The venue’s DIY ethos and grassroots origins reflect its commitment to creative autonomy and social engagement. In 2012, the new Schlachthofhalle opened, followed by the water tower’s restoration in 2015, blending industrial heritage with modern design. The center is supported by a core team and a large network of volunteers, hosting over 370 events annually. Schlachthof is not just a concert space—it’s a cultural engine that fosters diversity, dialogue, and artistic experimentation.
