In summer, the inner courtyard of Dock 4 is transformed into a huge open-air cinema. In the former school building there are also several stages, production and exhibition spaces for the independent cultural scene.
The Kulturhaus Dock 4 was founded in 1990 in the former Gerhart Hauptmann School as a cross-genre and cross-discipline performance venue for Kassel's independent cultural scene. Several production and exhibition spaces provide space for the independent cultural scene. A varied programme for all age groups takes place on the Deck 1 studio stage, the intermediate deck and the hall.
A special highlight during the summer months is the annual open-air cinema in the courtyard of the Kulturhaus, hosted by the Filmladen Kassel. Over a period of ten weeks, a high-quality film programme is presented there.
