Gruenspan

Gruenspan has been a fixture of Hamburg's concert scene since 1968. Located on the Grosse Freiheit, the venue has hosted countless national and international artists over the decades. From the punk bands of Hamburg's early school to international indie acts, Gruenspan has always been a stage where the music took center stage.

The venue is currently operating from a temporary location while the original space undergoes renovation. The spirit of the place, however, remains intact: compact shows with solid sound in an atmosphere that larger halls cannot reproduce. Programming is event-based, so it pays to check the schedule regularly.

Ticket prices depend on the act and typically fall between 15 and 35 euros. Drinks are poured at the bar at fair prices. Gruenspan appeals to an audience that values handmade music and an unpretentious club atmosphere. It is a piece of Hamburg music history that stays true to itself despite the change of address.
