Art and coffee: Grabower Bahnhof becomes a cultural hotspot!

Art and coffee: Grabower Bahnhof becomes a cultural hotspot!

Grabow, Deutschland - The Grabower Bahnhof, which over 20 years vacant, opened its doors again for art and recently turned into a vibrant place of creativity. On the occasion of the "Art open" cultural program, an impressive art exhibition took place, which was perceived by a wide audience. Nine talented artists presented their works on the upper floor of the listed building, which once housed apartments. 

The former station pub was transformed into the largest Café Grabows during the event. For several days, visitors could not only enjoy art, but also to talk to cakes and coffee. "The response was overwhelming," said the Kulturlabor Grabow association, which had organized the exhibition. Guests even traveled from cities such as Rostock, Schwerin, Potsdam, Berlin and Bremen.

creative commitment and neighborhood help

The idea for art exhibition was implemented within six months. At the end of 2024, the organizers found the station owners, who had not yet made any concrete plans for the building. The train station was cleared, cleaned and repaired by helpers with a lot of commitment, working without electricity, heating and water. The neighborhood also made its contribution by using the lawn mowing and the provision of necessary water and electricity.

It was particularly gratifying that some surprises were discovered during the preparations, such as wall paintings in the old pub and a light shaft. An old luggage scale, a relic of bygone times, was also exhibited and contributes to the history of the train station.

a place with history

The Grabower Bahnhof, which opened on October 15, 1846, is one of the oldest train stations in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and is located on the Hamburg-Berlin railway line. His classicist reception building is a listed building and tells of an eventful history. The Association of Kulturlabor Grabow e.V. is committed to making art accessible and preserving the history of the station.

art in public space, as is practiced here in the Grabower Bahnhof, is becoming increasingly important. It is a medium that both connects and creates identity and stimulates people to deal with their environment. In the Grabower Bahnhof this idea found its expression in a stimulating way.

Totally enthusiastic, the organizers are already looking into the future and are planning new events to further revitalize this special place and to promote culture in Grabow. Over 3,000 guests were chosen during the exhibition and with delicacies - a clear indicator that there is a good knack for cultural projects here.

For everyone who wants to learn more about the initiative or are interested in future events, the social media and the website of Kulturlabor Grabow are ready to spread news. So the Grabower train station not only remains a place full of history, but also a lively space for art, coffee and great feelings.
