The Hauptwache becomes the living room
The Architekturmuseum, the city of Frankfurt and other actors are starting a seven-week program at the Hauptwache. There are talk formats and concerts, among other things.
From tomorrow, Wednesday, September 7th, Frankfurt’s Hauptwache will become the “Reallabor Living Room Hauptwache” for seven weeks. The program goes back to the initiative of the Deutsches Architekturmuseum, the city and other actors. The aim is to show how the city center can become more livable in the post-corona period through new meeting places, climate-friendly open spaces and pop-up campaigns. The “Hauptwache living room” is one of 17 nationwide pilot projects funded by the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building.
Opening with city councillors
The Frankfurt city councilors Mike Josef (SPD), Stephanie Wüst (FDP), Eileen O’Sullivan (Volt), Annette Rinn (FDP), Stefan Majer (Greens) and Rosemarie Heilig (Greens) invite you to the opening on Wednesday, April 7th September, 12 p.m., for lunch at the Hauptwache. It is an opportunity to engage in dialogue with the magistrates.
On Friday, September 9th, the Frankfurt Chamber Philharmonic will hold two pop-up concerts in the former Karstadt building, now Galeria, Zeil 90. At 4pm and 6pm, the department store will become a concert hall with an ensemble, dancers and a singer. Admission is free. The Zeil antiquarian bookshop led by Norbert Heinz and Johanna Moraweg equips the Hauptwache with books and seating. The motto is “Goethe for Gutenberg! Literature at the Hauptwache”.
Paola Wechs and Felix Hevelke put a mini caravan at the main guard. The campaign is entitled “Space Station Radar Mobil”. The multifunctional place should deal with the appropriation of public space.
Workshops on various topics, music and sports events are planned for autumn. Discussion formats should develop perspectives for downtown Frankfurt. The Architecture Museum has announced an exhibition with the submissions, which had the “Living Room Hauptwache” as its theme.
The Hauptwache will be played until October 28th.
