Historical school in St. Pauli: Creative center for over 50 artists!

A new creative hotspot is being built in the heart of St. Pauli! Hamburg creative society has rented the listed old school at Seilerstraße 41/43 and thus launched an exciting project. This building, a real piece of jewelry from the brick architecture from 1888, will in future be the linchpin for designers, musicians, artists and other creatives. In summer, the first tenants should move in: a clear step in the revitalization of the district, which is equally popular with locals and tourists. mopo.de reports that…

The old school offers about 2300 m² of office space, an old gym and an inner courtyard with a newly designed green area on its four floors. These premises are to be rented exclusively to creative minds, with plans for studios, workshops, rehearsal rooms and studios. Managing Director Egbert Rühl has already landed a large number of interested creatives; More than 50 activities will start in the coming weeks. This could be an important step to end the vacancy in this central location and create a center for artistic production and interdisciplinary exchange, emphasizes cultural senator Carsten Brosda.

cultural diversity and creative synergies

Finance Senator Andreas Dressel sees the project as a strong perspective for the old school. It is an expression of the city's commitment to promote the cultural diversity in St. Pauli. A wide variety of creative industries should find their place in the building- from design and illustration offices to fashion studios to jewelry and ceramic workshops and photo studios. Actors from the performing arts and the music scene will also find their new places of activity here. Kreativgesellschaft.org emphasizes that…

The project is not only a profit for the neighborhood community, but is also in line with the goals of the Hamburg creative society. This organization sees it as its task to improve the general conditions for the creative industries in Hamburg. It acts as a bridge between different actors of the creative scene as well as politics and the economy. There is a value on individual advice and the creation of new job opportunities. Hamburg.de informs that…

It remains to be seen how the creative synergies develop and whether the old school can actually succeed in contributing to the cultural revival of the quarter. One thing is certain: a lot of life will stop here in the next few months. The Hamburg creative society now manages a total of 16 objects that offer space to the creative industries in the city. A good knack for innovative ideas and joint projects seems to be secured with this new center.
