Pasinger factory
The Pasinger factory is a cultural and event center in the western Munich district of Pasing . The former industrial plant was first used by the Heymann shoe factory and later by the ritterwerk company .
Previous use as a production facility
The industrial buildings of today's Pasinger factory were built directly on the northern side of the Munich Pasing train station with a villa at Marktplatz 4 and doubled in 1896 by an extension facing the marketplace. It is the second Pasinger shoe factory, leather shoes were produced here in contrast to the Regensteiner shoe factory, which produced felt and cloth shoes. After a fire in 1904 the factory was closed. David Heymann sold the factory to the household goods manufacturer Ritter in 1912 . David Heymann, his daughter Eugenie, his son Heinrich and grandson Gideon were victims of the Nazi regime and were murdered on November 25, 1941 in Kaunas.
After the Ritterwerke were relocated to Groebenzell , the city of Munich bought the land and buildings in order to put them to a new use. Initially, educational facilities were housed; interim plans to build a multi-storey car park were rejected.
Cultural center
Today the Pasinger factory is a cultural center , which also houses a restaurant with a bar for café concerts, the theater MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING , the Fabi Paritätische Familienbildungsstätte, the Munich children and youth forum, the children and youth culture workshop and the LAG Soziokultur Bayern e. V. are housed. Socioculture is therefore an important element of the Pasinger factory.
The cultural program is broad: in addition to theater ensembles , cabaret and cabaret groups or musicians of various styles, temporary exhibitions in the spacious gallery areas are an important part of the cultural work .
The cultural center integrates many cooperation partners in the local cultural work through a large network, such as the Munich adult education center , the Munich city library , the Munich film workshop , the KünstlerSpectrum Pasing e. V. or the Pasinger Madrigal Choir . The sponsor of the Pasinger factory is the cultural department of the state capital Munich .
In the program section of Munich's smallest opera house , one or two productions are staged each year, with an edited, “dust-free” chamber version of a classic opera or operetta repertoire being played.
theater MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
The theater MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING made a significant contribution to the development of the Pasinger factory and is still located there today. It was sponsored from the beginning by the cultural department of the state capital Munich and in 1996 and 1997 as one of the ten best off-theaters in the German-speaking area at the Impulse Theater Festival in North Rhine-Westphalia with the productions Wintermärchen ( Shakespeare ) and Alice D. im Spiegelland ( an adaptation after Lewis Carroll ).
The shareholders and founders are Margrit Carls and Andreas Seyferth, who, after working for several years at the city / state theater, decided to work “freely” - with the aim of meeting the quality standards of established theaters with “an independent, idiosyncratic, creative and collaborative production method” connect.
