history
The Kettel Club existed from 1962 as a music and dance room for young people in Elgershausen , a village in northern Hesse that was dissolved in the municipality of Schauenburg in 1972 . Beat music was played there as early as 1963 . The music was seen as an expression of youthful subculture that rebelled against bourgeois values. Music from beat bands like the Beatles , Rolling Stones and The Who was played by the disc jockey .
In addition, there were live bands that were known in the Kassel area, such as Sonic, The Petards , The Stuards, The Ducks and the eponymous Kettels, but also internationally known bands such as The Rattles from Hamburg, the English band The Smoke and the Australian band The Easybeats . With the advent of disco music and the end of the beat era, the live music program was discontinued in 1974.
The Savoy-nouvel disco followed the Kettel Club in 1983 . The Kettel Club served the writer Rebekka Knoll as a template for her novel Blue Nights (2020).
