Malteserkeller, Jazz club in Aachen, Germany
The Malteserkeller occupies the cellar space of a residential building at Malteserstraße 14, featuring regular live music performances and concerts.
Founded in 1957, the venue emerged from three earlier Aachen music clubs - Hotclub, Jazzclub, and Bohème - that defined the post-war jazz movement.
The club introduced German audiences to international jazz artists including Albert Mangelsdorff, Archie Shepp, Elvin Jones, and Chet Baker throughout its existence.
Located near RWTH Aachen University, the venue received institutional support through grants while maintaining an active concert schedule for students and residents.
John Coltrane performed at this underground venue, leaving behind an autograph that documents the connection between American jazz pioneers and German music culture.
