Move due to new bridge - Bridge-Musicclubs find new home at Deichtorhallen
Due to the controversial new construction of the Sternbridge in Hamburg-Altona, several long-standing Music Clubs had to vacate - they have now moved into the vaults of another bridge. In the immediate vicinity of Hauptbahnhof and Deichtorhallen, the vacant casemates along Altlaender Straße are set to become the new home for three affected Sternbridge-Clubs. The new spaces have now been handed over to the managers of Beat Boutique and Fundbureau.
First Beats from August
You can turn up the music again from August. The Bar 227 will follow later. In order for the music clubs to find good conditions, the city has renovated the spaces under the bridge in the past few months. With new toilets, ventilation, power and water supply, the facilities are now up-to-date. The spaces of Fundbureau in the casemates are similar in size to their previous location under the Sternbridge, with approximately 400 square meters. About 300 people can fit in. The Beat Boutique now has nearly four times the space, with 200 square meters, and can accommodate almost 200 people.
Long-term, the twelve vaults with their around 3750 square meters are to become a place full of culture with a mix of gastronomy, club scene, and craftsmanship. "Where before there were only unused, bare bridge vaults, we are letting a new cultural mile develop near the Hauptbahnhof," said Hamburg's Finance Senator Andreas Dressel (SPD) in a statement.
Bahn wants to replace the 100-year-old Sternbridge with new construction
The German Railways want to replace the almost 100-year-old Sternbridge, which is passed by over 900 S-Bahns, regional trains, and long-distance trains daily, with a 108-meter-long and 21-meter-high, column-free arch construction. The opponents of the plans consider them overdimensioned and speak of a "Monster-Bridge". The costs for the new bridge are currently estimated to be around 125 million Euros.
