The owner of this house in Burggasse thought that it looked a bit dull. So, he decided to invite the ‘Irga Crew’ (artists Knarf, Mafia and Freshmax) to redesign the facade. The new temporary design was presented on 8 August 2014. Former designs are documented on the Facebook site of this art project in progress.

Rabenhof theatre

The Rabenhof theatre is located in the so-called Rabenhof, a municipality building dating back to 1927. The premises originally functioned as workers ballroom, but were converted into the Rabenhof cinema with about 400 seats in 1934. In July 1971 the cinema was closed. The theatre was reopened in April 3, 1990. In summer 2008 an attempt was made to restore the original optical state of the 1920s. Luckily, various interior architectural elements were merely hidden behind wooden panels. The Rabenhof theatre plays a mixture of young, critical theater and cabaret. For several years the so-called protest song contest has been held here.
