In the 1970s the Deutsches Familienkaufhaus (DeFaKa, a shopping mall) at Hannover needed a temporary new home because their normal location at the Seilwinderstraße close to the Kröpcke was rebuilt. For that reason a flat building behind the main railway station of Hannover was constructed and surprisingly it is still there today: in 1977 it was not torn down but became the Kulturzentrum Pavillon, a socio-cultural center which serves as a public library, a concert venue and a bar.
The Pavillon is a great place for different kinds of concerts and perfectly located at the Oststadt or List with many restaurants and bars surrounding it. To reach the place you just need to leave the main railway station on the reverse side and pass under the Raschplatzhochstraße, an elevated road. I went there for a concert of Fortuna Ehrenfeld supported by Marlena Käthe. The band had just released their new album called Universum which is the 10th album of the band, contains 31 (!) songs and I had the pleasure to support it via crowdfunding. The tour is for the time being the last of the band which takes a longer break; let’s hope they return rather sooner than later.
