Cultural site criticizes the city
The operators of the Voyage announced at the weekend, that the cultural site in the King's Gate no permanent permitreceives. The background is an ongoing dispute over fire, Noise- and building protection with the city of Kassel.
As early as mid-May, the operators called for one Open letter one immediate approval “for conversion as an event location.” They criticized the city's bureaucracy and constantly new requirements.
The city emphasized, to support cultural engagement, But it is also bound to legal requirements. The location is not suitable “for an event hall or party location.”
The operators have submitted all the required reports. The rejection of the application is therefore devastating. Either that has to be the case Voyage finally close or another investor finances a new application.
In recent years, numerous cultural venues have had to close due to a lack of funding or displacement, among them Perle, Aka, Unten, Gray area and YORK.
