Heimat Music Hall
‘Heimat music hall’ is a classic music hall that turned 59 years of age this 2016.
We bet that there are a lot of people who are thinking “Hmm? Classic music hall? What is that?”
In the 1950’s, where, unlike the current generation, devices used for listening to music, such as Mp3 and CD’s, were not common, people went to the music hall. Once inside, people could enjoy a diverse array of music through LP’s and live performances! The classic music hall was where they could listen to classic music.
‘Heimat’ in ‘Heimat music hall’ means ‘home town’ in German. It has an impressively cozy and warm ambience. Music listening sessions and classic academy are held regularly until now. You should surely visit the music hall since there aren’t a lot of places in the country anymore where you can appreciate classic music gathered in a group.
