history

The beginnings of self-managed center in the Swabian Municipality of Reutlingen go to the founded in 1968 cell gallery back. The culture shock cell as a registered association was founded this year and operated the gallery in the former warehouse of Samen-Sprandel (corner of Karlsstrasse / Unter den Linden). At the opening event on July 6, 1968, the Brötzmann trio played at the vernissage . Readings and concerts were held in the shop on Lederstrasse, pictures were exhibited and films were shown. In the course of the student movement , the “Antigalerie” was transformed into the “Cell” cultural center at the end of the 1960s. In 1983 the whole area around the site was demolished in order to build the new main post office and a bank building. The “cell” moved into a former paint shop in the “Obere Wässere” street and from then on helped shape the cultural landscape of Reutlingen.

However, the city administration planned an expansion of the city center and thus also the demolition of the “cell” building. This was followed by years of struggle for new premises with solidarity campaigns in Reutlingen for the cell. After long negotiations, the real estate entrepreneur Schöler and the city decided to build a new cell on Echazinsel so that the old building could be demolished. Since 1996 the cell has been housed in the hall-like building in Albstraße next to a thoroughfare. The city signed a ten-year lease and granted a rent subsidy.

The “cell” was involved in initiatives against the construction of the oversized and unnecessary culture and congress center in Reutlingen. In 2012 the city of Reutlingen requested a restaurant license from the association. The sponsoring association Kulturschockzell eV pointed out that although sales were made with the ongoing operations of the center, hardly any profit. With the conditions, the center is difficult to maintain. The association filed a complaint with the Sigmaringen Administrative Court because it doubted that the municipal ruling after a restaurant license for a self-administered center like the cell was lawful.

The dispute escalated further and finally a compromise was worked out in 2014, which was presented as a settlement to the administrative court of the state of Baden-Württemberg in Mannheim . It stipulates that the city of Reutlingen waives a general license for the operation of the cell, the association only has to apply for this in exceptional cases, for example for events for which it charges an entrance fee of more than five euros. In return, the cell undertook to give city officials access to public events in the center. In addition, a concept for the protection of minors and drug prevention was drawn up.

Because of violations of noise protection regulations, fire protection regulations and denial of police access to the site, there are always disputes with city authorities. In 2016, for example, a fine was negotiated against the organizer and the club's board after a techno party at the Reutlingen district court.
