In this statement, the historic venue "Lost Place" in Braunschweig had closed down prior to the band's return performance.
The Schöppenstedter Tower, a piece of Brunswick's medieval history, is undergoing a significant transformation. The renovation, spearheaded by entrepreneur Kai Sölter and his namesake foundation, aims to give the building a sensible, sustainable use while preserving its historical character.
For over three decades, the Schöppenstedter Tower has seen short-lived uses, from an antique shop to a dog food sales outlet. However, due to lack of viable concepts and no heating, it fell into disrepair. Kai Sölter, a board member of an IT company and a lover of old buildings, was moved to renovate the Schöppenstedter Tower, which once served as a popular meeting place for generations.
The renovated Schöppenstedter Turm will reopen as a lively meeting place with a modern concept. Facilities for guests include a new kitchen building to meet economic and hygiene standards, a beer garden next to the inn reminiscent of earlier generations, and the former barn will be used complementarily. The renovation aims to balance old and new elements, with an opening planned for the second quarter of 2027.
The asparagus season dinner in 2027 is serving as a "North Star" for the project. The gastronomy in the Schöppenstedter Tower is planned to open for the asparagus season, offering a unique dining experience for visitors.
During the renovation process, the Schöppenstedter Tower will host three events: one in the unrenovated state, one in the partially renovated state, and one in the fully renovated building. The "Day of Monuments", planned on the tower grounds on September 14, is one such event. Around 1,000 visitors are expected to attend, with guided tours and information banners showing the current state of renovation. Beer and sausages will be available, but not for sale, but against voluntary donations.
The Schöppenstedter Tower was once a part of Brunswick's medieval city wall. It was demolished in the 18th century and replaced with a traditional inn called "Zum Schöppenstedter Tower". The renovated Schöppenstedter Turm will continue this tradition, offering a gastronomy with a beer garden with 120 seats (60 indoor and 60 outdoor). The income from this venture will secure the long-term maintenance of the tower.
An annex with a kitchen, sanitary facilities, and an elevator is being built on the northwest corner of the tower to accommodate modern hygiene and accessibility standards. The Schöppenstedter Tower had significant water damage due to lack of heating, which is being addressed during the renovation.
The Schöppenstedter Tower's renovation is being coordinated with the monument protection to ensure the preservation of its historical integrity. The tower, once it is restored to its former glory, will once again serve as a "North Star" for the community, a lively meeting place where old and new come together.
