About Us
For decades this hall in Munich-Moosach printed a daily newspaper. Twelve metres of ceiling, raw concrete, floors built to carry machines that never stopped. Everything about the building was designed around one thing: production, at scale, on time, every night of the week. The presses are gone. The building isn’t.
PRINT STOPPED.
THE HOUSE
KEPT GOING.
PRINTHOUSE is a cultural centre for concerts and electronic music, jazz evenings, opera and theatre, exhibitions — and a bar that stands on its own. One hall, many kinds of night, in a room that was never designed to be pretty and is exactly right because of it. We’re not covering the building up. No false ceilings, no décor to soften the concrete. What the hall does to sound and to a crowd is the reason it works, and the reason we’re here rather than somewhere easier.
This is an interim use.
We hold the building on a temporary lease and run on temporary permits, one event at a time. The programme grows date by date and nothing is promised beyond the next one on the calendar. That’s not a caveat — it’s the condition under which everything here happens, and it’s what makes the room worth being in now.
What this house becomes will be shaped by the people who are in it early.
