Pasinger Fabrik, Cultural center in Pasing-Obermenzing, Germany.
The Pasinger Fabrik is a cultural centre in a former shoe and household-appliance factory beside Pasing station in western Munich. The complex consists of factory buildings and a villa at Marktplatz 4, doubled in 1896 by an extension toward the square. It now houses a theatre, gallery spaces, a restaurant with bar, and family education facilities.
The factory buildings were erected in 1895 by architect August Exter next to Pasing station and doubled in 1896 with an extension toward the Marktplatz. They housed Pasing's second shoe factory, where the Heymann firm made leather shoes. After a fire on New Year 1904 the plant closed; David Heymann sold it in 1912 to the household goods manufacturer Ritter. The city of Munich bought the site after Ritter moved to Gröbenzell in 1982.
The name of the resident theatre, VIEL LÄRM UM NICHTS, comes from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Founded by actors Margit Carls and Andreas Seyferth, it performs its own translations of classic plays and dramatisations of narrative texts, and was invited to the Impulse festival in 1996 and 1997 as one of the ten best off-theatres in the German-speaking area.
The center is very close to Pasing railway station, accessible via the north exit, and is served by multiple suburban train lines and bus routes. Getting there by public transport is straightforward and convenient.
