  • About Us Kulturzentrum E-Werk, a Cultural Center in Erlangen / Bavaria
    About us Kulturzentrum E-Werk, a cultural center in Erlangen / Bavaria has been an important factor in the socio-cultural events of the region for more than 35 years and is known far beyond the regional borders as one of the largest cultural centers in Germany. Originated from a “need for rest” of residents around, when 2 youth clubs in 1982 had to move into a decommissioned power plant, it has a turbulent history behind it and is still under power! The E-Werk is run and operated by an association and a limited liability company and faces - like many socio-cultural centers - the difficult degree between financially lucrative events and the claim to quality and education, without having to give up on its ideals. The E-Werk is home to a cinema and four different venues - from the familial "Kellerbühne" to the great hall. Our 2,500 square feet of event space have a visitor reception capacity of 2,500 people. Every year 250,000 to 300,000 guests visit the E-Werk, which is also embedded within the city’s north, surrounded by a good infrastructure and with 600 parking spaces around (“Kaufland Erlangen”). Managing Director of the E-Werk is Berndt Urban (until 2020). The association chairman is currently Heiner Grillenberger. The E-Werk trains several apprentices, has over 130 employees and youngsters doing a “FSJ” (Voluntary Social Year - Culture). In addition, roundabout 80 volunteers are involved in the E-Werk program. The administration, the public relations and the program planning, the gastronomy and the evening business, the technology, the property management and the billposting are all concentrated in the GmbH.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
