Kampnagel Explained

Kampnagel is a theatre in Hamburg, Germany. It is Germany's biggest independent production venue for the performing arts. It is based on the premises of a former mechanical engineering factory in Winterhude, founded in 1865.

History

Since 1982 Kampnagel has been hosting and producing cultural activities, theatre and dance performances and concerts. The site also hosts a number of festivals such as the "Internationales Sommerfestival" (International Summer Festival).[1]

In 2022, Federal Commissioner for Culture and the Media Claudia Roth and Hamburg's State Minister for Cultural Affairs Carsten Brosda announced that Jean-Philippe Vassal and Anne Lacaton of Paris-based architectural firm Lacaton & Vassal would be awarded the contract for the renovation and expansion of Kampnagel.[2] [3]
