Treibhaus

About this audio guide

This guide to Treibhaus, the cultural center on Angerzellgasse in Innsbruck, opens on a strange admission policy at a club opening night in nineteen eighty-one: no ticket, just a houseplant. It follows the short-lived group behind that idea, the student organizer who kept the name going after the venture folded, and the winding path from a Pradl storefront to the octagonal building it occupies today. Listen for how a joke about a glass forcing house became the identity of an entire venue.
