Kulturzentrum Pavillon, Lister Meile 4, 30161 Hannover
The Pavillon cultural centre is the festival centre of the Überschlag Festival for five days.
The majority of the events take place here - including the big opening night.
The foyer becomes a festival lounge. Here you will find catering, cosy seating, an information desk and lots of other little surprises. The instrument exhibition takes place in the small hall.
The history of the Pavillon cultural centre began with the idea of creating a self-managed centre for culture, social affairs and politics. The citizens' initiative Raschplatz e. V. was founded in 1976 and fought for the use of a vacant department stores' in 1977. The BI is still responsible for the Pavillon cultural centre today. The Pavillon has developed into one of the largest cultural institutions in the city and is one of the oldest socio-cultural centres in Germany. Several major renovations of the building were necessary to accommodate the growing cultural activities.
The core refurbishment in 2013 enabled the Great Hall, the Small Hall and the two theatre stages to be used simultaneously. There are also two group rooms and a large foyer.
