Jazzclub Bamberg e. V.

In the location's words:

"Geh mer nunder nei'n Keller"? The jazz clubber knows immediately what is meant by this phrase. For most people, however, the question would have to be translated. Except perhaps for getting drinks or wood, "Nunder-nei'n-Keller-gehen" is not a popular sport. Because jazz, like the jazz cellar, is a cultural niche. Bamberg residents usually prefer to go "down to the cellar", which in the city means going up to the beer gardens, under which cellar-like corridors have stretched out since time immemorial. It is therefore all the more astonishing how a club with a niche existence can exist in a city of 80,000 inhabitants, and at a remarkable level: the program can undoubtedly compete with renowned venues in much larger cities. Visitors appreciate the pleasant atmosphere. They not only enjoy the music here, but also the choice from an extensive drinks menu (including Bamberg beer).

The club has around 550 members, making it one of the larger jazz clubs in Germany. It is also the only jazz club in Upper Franconia with a permanent home.
