A final look at Reese: Exhibition with Augsburg's industrial history

With Goodbye Reese - What lived, benefited, had to go, an evening opens at the Kulturhaus Abraxas that deals with the transformation of a defining area. The title already hints at what it's about: memory, loss and the question of what remains of a place when its time passes. For visitors, this creates a quiet, contemplative event experience with regional significance and strong historical awareness.

A place with history that becomes the subject itself

The Kulturhaus Abraxas is located at Sommestraße 30 and is considered a culturally and historically significant site on the grounds of the former Reese Barracks. The city of Augsburg describes the house as a converted former officers' casino with theater, exhibition hall, studios and music rooms; the place itself carries exactly those layers of past and present that the event also addresses.
