Program Type: Music Events

Our Mission:

We want to make our events accessible to all people.

This is an ongoing process that we are continuously working on. We know that barriers can be as diverse as the people who encounter them. Therefore, it is our intention to reduce barriers as much as possible and to transparently communicate the barriers we encounter in advance.

We welcome questions and suggestions about accessibility that help us to organize our events as inclusive as possible.

Send us an email with the subject accessibility to info@timcheh.de. With regard to the accessibility of our events, we are being advised by the Cologne-based organization Mittendrin e.brV.

The climate crisis is one of the great challenges of our generation, that’s why for the first edition of the festival we cooperated with the Munich-based project office WHAT IF for sustainable culture, and drafted a concept to limit the negative environmental effects of our festival. Of course, this year we will also be following the guidelines that have been drawn up. Our sustainability concept includes, however, not only environmental measures (e.g. using reusable materials, short travel distances and environmentally friendly logistics) but also social sustainability (e.g. fair payments to the artists and volunteers).

Kulturbunker is located very close to the Rhine in beautiful Köln-Mühlheim. When deciding for Kulturbunker as our venue it was important for us that the venue is well known for intercultural events, welcoming people independent of their origin, gender, sexual identity or religion. Another main aspect was its barrier free accessibility as well as the easy and barrier free accessibility with public transport.
