ENGLISH BREAKFAST - Chapel Reloaded

22m | May 9, 2023

In this show we hear about the Art Mob event at the reopening of the Chapel Frabrik für Kunst und Kultur.

Background: The Chapel-Krypta is an important landmark in the Göppingen cultural scene, dating back to the ealier 20th centrury.

Originally build in 1926 as a pleace of workshop with its modernist syle designed by architect Paul Smitthenner.

In the early 2000s the Chapel, originally used by US miliary personnel near the base, was repurposed by the alternative artist scene run by volunteers.

In 2014 the future of the building and its use was uncertain. Estimated renovation costs to adhere to fire regulations were unatainable. Funding drives with community donations as well as support from local authorities, finally resulted in restoring the building.

After several years of renovation, the Chapel opened it doors to the public in May 2017 thanks to a group of cultural activists FKK (Factory of Art and Culture) and their supporters. This group aims to promote the arts and to create a space for creativity. The reopening was celbrated with an art mob by UNICOM.
