HIER IST NICHT DA

Since 2022, HERE IS NOT THERE has been the meeting place for subculture in Gelsenkirchen and has established itself in the cultural landscape of the Ruhr region. As a socio-cultural center, it offers a wide range of events - from concerts and clubbing, readings and game nights to workshops, lectures and discussions. Whether indie, punk, hip hop or electronic music, special interests or popular music, newcomers or established artists - whatever suits us will find a place at HIER IST NICHT DA.

With the aim of closing cultural gaps in Gelsenkirchen and filling program niches in the Ruhr region, HERE IS NOT THERE promotes diversity. If you are looking for events that are outside the mainstream, this is the place for you.
