About Batschkapp
Batschkapp is one of Germany's oldest and most storied venues, having opened in 1977 as an alternative cultural space and evolved through punk, new wave, metal, and electronic music without ever losing its commitment to independent culture. The venue has hosted virtually every significant name in alternative and electronic music over nearly five decades, and its current incarnation in Rödelheim maintains the spirit of the original while operating with modern production infrastructure. Few venues in Europe can claim a comparable legacy.
History
Batschkapp began as a political and cultural centre in 1977, quickly becoming a venue for punk and new wave bands that couldn't find stages in Frankfurt's mainstream scene. Its evolution through every significant musical movement of the past 45 years makes it one of Germany's most historically important venues.
