Kulturzentrum Pavillon
About

Kulturzentrum Pavillon is one of Hanover’s most dynamic cultural institutions, known for its inclusive programming and politically engaged history. Located near the main railway station at Lister Meile 4, the Pavillon occupies a site once home to Hanover’s court prison, demolished in 1963. The current building began as a temporary department store before being transformed into a socio-cultural center in 1977 by the citizen-led Raschplatz initiative. Since then, it has evolved into a major venue for concerts, theater, cabaret, readings, and public discourse. The Pavillon is celebrated for its commitment to diversity, accessibility, and social justice, regularly hosting events that reflect contemporary political and cultural issues. Its flexible spaces include a concert hall, seminar rooms, and exhibition areas, supporting both grassroots and international artists. As one of Germany’s oldest socio-cultural centers, Kulturzentrum Pavillon remains a vital meeting place where people gather to exchange ideas, enjoy performances, and shape civic life.
