Eisfabrik, Cultural center in Hanover, Germany.

Eisfabrik is a art and culture centre on a roughly 5,000 m² site in the Südstadt of Hanover, housed in the former Germania Brauerei complex on Seilerstraße. It holds two exhibition halls, a theatre with two auditoriums, artists' studios and music rooms; the Blaue Halle has contained the Galerie für Fotografie since 2014.

The complex was built at the end of the 19th century as a brewery by the Germania Brauerei, founded in 1898, which used it for about two decades. In 1917 a consortium of three Hanover breweries bought and closed it, and the Heuweg-Werke converted it into an ice factory producing clear ice at 2,400 hundredweight a day. Destroyed 90 percent in the Second World War, it regained pre-war capacity around 1953 and made ice until 1965.

The site's name comes from the Klareis (clear ice) produced here until 1965; the Heuweg-Werke supplied all of Hanover from these halls. Since 1987 the free theatre Commedia Futura has worked in the building, and the Kunstverein Foro Artistico was founded the same year. In the Blaue Halle, the Galerie für Fotografie shows journalistic and documentary photography, including works by Jewgeni Chaldej and Anja Niedringhaus.

The site is in the Südstadt at Seilerstraße, about 5,000 m² in size, with two exhibition halls, a two-hall theatre, studios and ateliers. The GAF photography gallery in the Blaue Halle shows several exhibitions of journalistic and documentary photography each year. Check the current programme before visiting, since events vary.

The site's name comes from the clear ice (Klareis) made here from 1917: the Heuweg-Werke produced 2,400 hundredweight a day, enough to supply all of Hanover until production stopped in 1965. The complex was 90 percent destroyed in the Second World War and only regained its pre-war capacity around 1953.
