SubstAnZ stays!

We have been an integral part of the cultural and educational landscape of the city of Osnabrück since 2009. In 14 years, SubstAnZ has hosted well over 700 performances and concerts by artists from all over the world, countless parties, exhibitions, lectures, workshops and so much more. We have also received several awards for our cultural commitment.

But SubstAnZ is also a place for left-wing and emancipatory politics. Various groups, initiatives, campaigns and alliances, such as the anti-fascist join-in campaign "Den Rechten die Räume nehmen" ("Take away the fascists space") or the Feminist Strike Alliance, use our rooms and infrastructure for their meetings. We have no place for ideologies such as racism, sexism, homophobia, antisemitism or fascism. Instead, we try to reflect on social conditions together, counteract authoritarian structures and discrimination of all kinds, try out self-determination and free agreements between people with equal rights in practice and thus create a space in which all people can be different without fear.
