Kulturhaus Abraxas, Cultural center and architectural monument in Augsburg, Germany.
Kulturhaus Abraxas occupies a former military building and houses a 150-seat theater, exhibition halls, artist studios, and music practice rooms. The facility also includes a restaurant and provides space for diverse cultural activities.
After the departure of American forces in the 1990s, the city of Augsburg converted the former officers' casino into a cultural space. This conversion marked the beginning of a new use of the building for the local art community.
The space functions as a meeting point for artists and cultural groups who display their work and collaborate together. Visitors often encounter members of the local art scene using the rooms for exhibitions and creative projects.
The venue is centrally located in Augsburg and easily accessible, with regular programming of events throughout the year. Visitors can check ahead to see what performances and exhibitions are taking place to plan their visit.
The acronym Abraxas stands for the different functions of the space: Atrium, stage, restaurant, studios, and experimental music. This playful concept shows how the building relates to its name and reflects its diverse use.
