Unabhängiges Jugendzentrum Kornstraße, Cultural center in Nord, Hannover, Germany.
The Unabhängiges Jugendzentrum Kornstraße occupies a former factory building with different areas including workshops, a cinema, a printing house, and performance spaces. The facility uses multiple buildings at Kornstraße 28-30 and gained extra room after acquiring a neighboring structure.
The center was founded in 1972 when five young people attempted to create a youth space in an empty house on Arndtstraße. This origin emerged from student movements that showed the need for such gathering places.
The center serves as a meeting place where regular concerts, art exhibitions, workshops, and discussion events take place. These activities shape how different groups in the neighborhood gather and express themselves together.
The location is at Kornstraße 28-30 in Hannover, making it straightforward to find. Since multiple buildings house different spaces, it pays to explore the full site to see all areas and what is happening.
The center funds itself through individual donations and small loans without relying on municipal money. This independence since 1979 shapes how the place operates and makes decisions freely.
