Kulturinsel Halle

Furthermore, it includes the gastronomic establishments Café nt and Strieses Biertunnel.

[1] The Kulturinsel Halle was built between 1980 and 2002, starting from the old Kino der Deutsch-Sowjetischen Freundschaft (Cinema of German-Soviet Friendship), a whole block of eight buildings was converted and expanded into a cultural venue.

It was shaped by the long-time artistic director Peter Sodann, who found a venue here in the cinema for his ensemble at the time.

[2] In 1999, Peter Sodann received the prize of the Association of German Critics for the project "Kulturinsel".

[4] Since the closure of the Thalia Theatre [de] in 2012, its continuing ensemble is also based on the Kulturinsel.
