Bergson Kunstkraftwerk
Bergson Kunstkraftwerk stands in Munich’s Aubing district, where industrial history meets contemporary art and culture. Its brick façade and tall windows preserve the character of a former heating plant.
Built between 1940 and 1955, the facility belonged to an unfinished Reichsbahn industrial complex. After the war, Deutsche Bundesbahn converted it into a heating works that never generated electricity. Disuse followed, and the building had fallen into ruin by the mid-1960s. During the 1990s, techno parties brought DJs such as Monika Kruse to the abandoned site. Stenger2 later guided its transformation into a cultural venue while retaining the original structure.
Today, galleries, a jazz cellar, the Zeitlang restaurant and a concert hall fill the restored building. Art exhibitions and live music unfold beneath a spectacular 25-metre-high atrium.
