Overview

  • In the late 1970s, the grey, post-industrial city of Hagen became the epicentre of a musical earthquake. Discover the 'Hagener Szene', where punk met the neon aesthetic of the New German Wave. Stroll through the streets where Nena's band found its first notes before guitarist Carlo Karges dreamed of 99 Luftballons in West Berlin. Explore the places of Extrabreits rebellion anthems and the villas that became breeding grounds for a creative generation. Find out how a working-class and steel city participated in the colourful pop revolution of the 80s.
