Epplehaus, Cultural center in Tübingen, Germany.

Epplehaus is a self-managed youth centre at Karlstraße in Tübingen, housed in a former bank building occupied by young people in 1972. About 30 young people and young adults run it voluntarily since 2004. Its vaulted cellar hosts concerts, and one floor holds the city's youth media café and youth culture office.

In April 1972 the Schwabenhaus youth club burned down under unexplained circumstances. After demands for an investigation and renovation went unmet, youths occupied an empty bank building on Karlstraße in June 1972 following a Ton Steine Scherben concert. The city bought the building from Kreissparkasse Tübingen in July 1972; the support association Jugendzentrum Epplehaus e. V. was founded in 1978, and since 2004 about 30 young people have run the center voluntarily.

The house is named after Richard Epple, a 17-year-old shot by police during a chase on 1 March 1972. Its vaulted cellar concerts, spanning rock, punk, metal, reggae and hardcore, made it known beyond the region. The women's café later moved to the Frauenprojektehaus, and the city runs a youth media café and youth culture office on one floor.

The Epplehaus is at Karlstraße in Tübingen, and the vaulted cellar and hall are the rooms where concerts and DJ nights happen. The house is run by roughly 30 young people working unpaid, so opening times depend on the volunteers and on each event rather than on fixed daily hours. Look for the programme of the house's own music project, "bits&bytes to music", and of the Metalnight series before planning an evening.

The vaulted cellar (Gewölbekeller) hosted concerts that made the house known beyond the region, with rock, punk, metal, reggae and hardcore acts playing there. The building itself was a bank branch of the Kreissparkasse Tübingen before the city bought it in July 1972.
