Brunsviga, Cultural and communication center in Brunswick, Germany.
The Brunsviga is a cultural and communication center housed in the former Brunsviga canning factory at Karlstraße 35 in Brunswick's Östliches Ringgebiet. The preserved factory building contains a cafeteria, a large hall seating 300, a smaller hall for 150, rooms for the music library, and the Kinderhaus. The site opened in stages, with the second construction phase inaugurated on 17 September 1994.
The site housed the Brunsviga canning factory, founded at Karlstraße 35 in 1895 and closed in 1981. The city acquired the grounds, and a citizens' association opened a volunteer-run meeting place in the former staff building. After demolition was considered in 1983, a 1984 compromise preserved part of the factory; conversion began in 1988, and a 300-seat hall opened in 1994.
The name comes from the Brunsviga canning factory founded on Karlstraße in 1895. Since 2011 the house has marked its anniversary with a Schlager gala, and the annual musical staged by the Integrierte Gesamtschule Franzsches Feld has included Scuderi (2013) and Alice im Wunderland (2015). Radio Okerwelle has broadcast from a studio in the former music archive rooms since November 2007.
