Positive Senate Decision by the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen
We are pleased that the Bremen Senate today approved the plan to expand the historic concert hall “Die Glocke” with a third hall. The last comprehensive renovation of the existing building took place about 30 years ago. In addition to structural and technical upgrades, the competition (2024) focused on improving event operations. The plans also called for an expansion to include a multifunctional “music experience space”, as well as additional rooms for rehearsals, workshops, and music education. The concept submitted by the consortium of JSWD and GINA emerged as the winner and was commissioned to proceed with further planning.
Construction is scheduled to begin in 2028. In the meantime, interim operations are planned. The reopening is scheduled for 2031.
