Batschkapp (Hessian dialect for 'flat cap') is a rock and pop concert venue in Frankfurt am Main.
[5][6] At the beginning of the 1980s, Batschkapp was in financial difficulties caused by extensions of fire safety and other standards and had tax debts of DM 30,000.
A benefit concert in 1982 with Ideal and BAP among the bands generated enough profit to keep the venue in business.
The original venue was demolished in February 2016, after archaeological excavations were made because the site was within the grounds of Rühl'sche Hof, to enable the building of flats and a supermarket.
[3] Batschkapp won the Live Entertainment Award for the best club of the year at the Musikmesse Frankfurt in March 2012.
