The Old Malthouse
Coffee roasting house, art and culture in one location – this is offered today by the industrial monument “Old Malthouse” (Alte Mälzerei) that was constructed in 1875.
At the end of the 20th century, the former (brewing) malt and malt coffee factory integrated different cultural purposes: the Lippmann+Rau music archive, an international archive for jazz and popular music, a jazz club, a small museum as well as a coffee roasting house. In the oldest jazz club of East Germany, approx. 40 concerts take place every year, ranging from Jazz to Blues and Rock up to Folk. The live jazz concerts in the impressive double vault of the jazz club are legendary and unforgettable.
