Overview
- Fans and performers carried the original illuminated sign by U- and S‑Bahn from Schwabing to the Gasteig and installed it at the FatCat interim venue.
- Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter and former mayor Christian Ude attended the celebration alongside artists including Josef Hader, Claus von Wagner and Willy Astor.
- Till Hofmann, who previously led the institution and has returned, initiated the move as part of a broader reset.
- The FatCat space at the old Gasteig serves as an interim home, with the first program announced for January–May 2026 and performances beginning on 9 January.
- The move follows a turbulent period after a 2024 reopening at the Stammhaus, where programming had dwindled before this restart.
