Club Voltaire

In the location's words:

Club Voltaire was founded 50 years ago in the wake of the 1968 student movement, which wanted to break up the elitist concept of culture. The aim was a politically committed socioculture "from below". In 1970, a small cultural project was initially set up in Tübingen's Haaggasse, which soon developed into the "Club Voltaire". The club, named after the French Enlightenment philosopher, was firmly anchored in the folk and singer-songwriter scene and organized the "Tübingen Festival", which focused on alternative and resistance culture.

Despite financial cuts and the discontinuation of the festival program in the 1980s, the club remained active and focused on the local cultural scene. Today it offers a varied program of concerts, readings, theater and film. The club is run on a voluntary basis and is housed in one of the oldest buildings in Tübingen. Its niche culture is still an important part of the city's cultural diversity.
