The ground on which the Kulturbunker stands is partly the site on which the former synagogue of the Ehrenfeld district once stood. This was destroyed by the Nazis on the night of 9 November 1938 and the bunker was built during the Second World War. In this respect, today's art site is linked to the nation's darkest past, the Holocaust, and also to the destruction of the war itself. The transparent documentation of this on the Kulturbunker's website provides detailed insights into the historical background of the site.
Despite its sad past, Kulturbunker 101 is primarily a place for art. Contemporary artists, including those who are still in the early stages of their work, are offered a presentation space for their works here. Other events in the context of art also find their space here, which exudes a very special atmosphere precisely because of its past. Consequently, the contrasts already contained in the name of the exhibition space become visible on site when the multifaceted programme meets the force of the bunker architecture.
