Groebenzell floor
The Stockwerk cultural center in Groebenzell in the Fürstenfeldbruck district near Munich is a cultural center that was built in 2001. Every year around 50 cultural events take place on the floor. The cultural program includes cabaret, readings and concerts, but also parties such as the "Stockwerk Lounge". 15,000 guests visit the artists' events each year. In 2018, the Süddeutsche Zeitung awarded this work with the " Tassilo Prize ".
Building complex and organization
In contrast to the cultural centers of the neighboring municipalities in Fürstenfeldbruck , Germering and Puchheim , the cultural work on the floor is carried out without funding or funding or participation by the public sector . The floor consists of three building complexes in which mainly offices are housed and which were planned and implemented by a regional architectural office between 2001 and 2009. There was also a hotel until 2019. Since October 2015, the town hall of Gröbenzell has been housed in the one-story building on Danziger Strasse for five years.
The owner of the cultural center and the entire building complex is the entrepreneur Christian Stock, from whose name the floor is derived. The organizer of the cultural program is the private sector Breitenfellner Kultur , which also has its headquarters on the floor.
Artist on the floor
There is an event on the floor almost every week. Those interested in culture visit the culture and event location beyond local borders. The location offers space for 700 people with 320 seats. Cabaret, comedy, concerts and dance, readings and theater, the floor lounge and organ concerts have taken place regularly since 2001.
Artists such as Gerhard Polt , Django Asül , Harry G , Helmut Schleich , Sissi Perlinger , Chris Boettcher and Günther Sigl performed on the floor.
"There is someone on the way to establish themselves alongside the three big cultural organizers in the district - Germering, Fürstenfeld and Puchheim - and maybe even scratch their pedestals."
Awards
In April 2018, organizer Thomas Breitenfellner was honored for his “tireless” cultural commitment on the floor with the “Tassilo” , the culture prize of the Süddeutsche Zeitung . Above all, the jury praised the fact that Breitenfellner had succeeded in offering the audience a consistently high-quality program for many years without receiving any support from the public sector. This is unusual in the cultural scene.
“In times when similar venues are subsidized with millions annually, a remarkable achievement. Especially since Gröbenzell, unlike Fürstenfeldbruck, Germering and Puchheim itself, does not run a cultural center. Because the floor, which arose from a private initiative, has developed into one of the most important event locations in the district since it was founded, it has now been awarded the Tassilo Culture Prize of the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

Organ on the floor
A unique artistic feature is the custom-made Harder-Völkmann organ . With 3,024 pipes today, it is the world's largest organ that has ever been built into an office building. The instrument, designed and built by the organ builder Markus Harder-Völkmann, received control electronics that were specially developed in collaboration with the physicist Jürgen Scriba, which activate the valves to the organ pipes via a data bus. Integrated into the overall organ system is an instrument built by Paul Faust in 1953 , which was formerly in a Duisburg church. The organ today comprises 69 registers from 40 rows of pipes, a piano , an accordion as well as the most extensive organ glockenspiel and the only organ marimba in Europe. This makes it one of the most innovative instruments in Upper Bavaria's organ landscape . Internationally important interpreters such as Wolfgang Seifen , Kalevi Kiviniemi , Christian Schmitt , Barbara Dennerlein , Nathan Laube, Thomas Heywood, Steven Tharpe, Paolo Oreni, Mathias Rehfeldt and Christoph Hauser, who looks after the instrument as titular organist , regularly play the Harder-Völkmann organ .
