The city of Nuremberg wants to renovate the opera house.
This causes criticism, because there is apparently no money for the youth center Project 31.
Nuremberg - Is the city of Nuremberg * spending too much money on the renovation of the opera house and not supporting the youth?
This is currently being debated.
Nuremberg: Are the young people being left in the lurch?
“I think it's downright obscene to spend huge sums of money on the opera house and at the same time to let the youngsters down,” said Marian Wild to the news portal
nordbayern.de
.
The architect and art scholar explained: "Project 31 is only a symptom of a process that affects not only the youth center, but several cultural locations in the city." which was founded in autumn 2001.
Various groups, associations and individuals are calling for an independent cultural center without the obligation to consume, in order to make concerts and pub visits affordable.

Nuremberg: Project 31 is to be put in front of the door
However, it looks bad for Project 31.
The investor has filed a suit for eviction.
The association had previously asked the city to buy the building so that young people in Nuremberg can continue to have a creative meeting place.
But the city did not take hold.
Now apartments are to come into the building - and Project 31 is to be put in front of the door.
Claudia Arabackyj, Vice-Chairwoman of the SPD * in the city council, said to
nordbayern.de
: "We also need young culture and a critical public in this city, only in this way can we do justice to our societal and social tasks." However, it looks bleak for us the project 31. Die Alternative Kultur e.
V. is currently looking for a new property - so far without success.
The young people have already set an example for their heart project, the P31 in Steinbühl: With heart posters and heart balloons they demand: “No day without Project 31” and “Don't break my heart”.
Nuremberg: Several million planned for the renovation of the opera
No money for a youth center, but for the renovation of the opera? The site for the P31 would have cost the city around one million euros. A bland aftertaste: The city, on the other hand, will spend millions on the renovation of the opera house on Richard-Wagner-Platz. The costs for this are estimated at 400 to 700 million euros. Since the renovation will take a long time, there will be additional costs for an interim venue. That will cost another 200 million euros. In order to raise the enormous sums of money, the Nuremberg city treasurer Harald Riedel (SPD) demanded that the Free State bear the costs.
The question arises as to whether it is fair to put millions into renovating the opera house and letting the project run for the youth.
The architect and art scholar Marian Wild points out: “We cannot think in terms of high culture and popular culture, of old and young.
We need youth culture and also the subculture so that high culture can develop and vice versa, all of this has to be in flux.
Today's subculture is tomorrow's high culture. ”
