The
The Clubkombinat Hamburg e.V. is an interest association that has represented and promoted the interests of Hamburg's live music clubs, organizers, bookers, and agencies for 20 years. With around 180 members, it is a central platform for the diverse live music scene in Hamburg.
The work of the Clubkombinat is idealistically shaped and based on the idea of a community where genuine encounters and lively exchanges are enabled and a tolerant coexistence is lived. The goal is to promote and preserve a vibrant and diverse club culture[2].
The Clubkombinat has focused on sustainability in its work. Under the guiding question "Got plans for tomorrow?" the association aims to promote a sustainable club culture and establish crisis-resistant structures. This also includes the promotion of environmentally friendly and socially responsible practices within the club scene[5].
The Clubkombinat works closely with Hamburg's politics, particularly with the cultural authority. This collaboration has already led to successful solutions for threatened music clubs, such as the re-establishment of Molotow and the rescue of Hafenklang through crowdfunding campaigns. The political will to support the club scene is present, and the Clubkombinat plays a key role in mediating and implementing this support[4].
Thus, the Clubkombinat Hamburg e.V. is not only an association but a central player in Hamburg's club and cultural scene, committed to preserving and promoting a vibrant, diverse, and sustainable club culture.
