The \u201cKing of Home Organ\u201d with his iconic bald head and the 1970s sunglasses loves to perform at metal and hard rock festivals and is an integral part of the Caf\u00e9 Central programme. Further in the middle, you can see the Knorkator guys, renowned for their bizarre performances, in which they make music on toilet brushes or launch chopped vegetables at the audience. After the band\u2019s first gig in Weinheim, Michael Wiegand had to pull chunks of cucumber out of the mixing console. \u201cIt was legendary,\u201d the club manager says, as his gaze continues to wander over the posters.

It is hard to imagine the club scene of the region without Caf\u00e9 Central. The club won the <em>Applaus-Award<\/em>, a prize awarded by the ministry of education and cultural affairs for outstanding music clubs and event series. It is just a few minutes\u2019 walk from Weinheim main station to Caf\u00e9 Central. With its high windows, its broad staircase and spacious rooms, you can easily envisage that kids once strolled to their classrooms here. That is, despite the fact that the days when the building on <em>Hauptstrasse<\/em>, the main road, was used as a school are long over. Built in the beginning of the 20<sup>th<\/sup> century and used as a youth centre on and off, it is now owned by the town of Weinheim. The Stadtjugendring\u2014an urban youth organisation\u2014is located on the ground floor, while Caf\u00e9 Central rents out the first floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Dennis-Ott2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Dennis-Ott2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45333\" style=\"aspect-ratio:3\/2;object-fit:cover;width:1024px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Dennis-Ott2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Dennis-Ott2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Dennis-Ott2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Dennis-Ott2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Dennis-Ott2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Dennis-Ott2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">He is a regular in Weinheim: The \u201cKing of Home Organ\u201d Mambo Kurt.\u00a0<em>Foto: Dennis Ott<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI sort of stumbled into this,\u201d Michael says about the first years when they established the club. A friend who was a social worker had taken over the former youth centre. He brought him and another friend on board because he knew that the two organised concerts. Three years after the club was founded, the other friends followed different pursuits. Since then, Michael has been running the club alone, and\u2014much to his own surprise\u2014actually likes that. \u201cAlthough I am the youngest of five kids, I like working on my own,\u201d the reserved and rather unobtrusive man with tousled hair and greying beard says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Only a few metres and two doors are between his office and the stage. If need be, he can work here while up to 300 guests party next-door. \u201cWhen I shut the door to my office, I hear almost nothing of the concerts.\u201d Most of the time, though, he wants to hear the concerts, of course\u2014since quite often he is himself surprised by the musicians that he booked. His latest discovery is Odd Couple, a Berlin-based duo whose genre is hard to pinpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>We have worked together a lot with local bands right from the start\u2014and we will keep that going<\/p>\n<cite>Michael Wiegand<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>A certain similarity with Caf\u00e9 Central\u2019s programme comes to mind here: While the club used to be known for its punk rock gigs in its initial phase, all kinds of metal bands perform here now, too. \u201cCaf\u00e9 Central has somehow developed a life of its own,\u201d Michael says with a sly smile. \u201cWe\u2019re trendier now.\u201d In the past, the focus was more on pop music, e.g., Wir sind Helden, Silbermond and Mark Forster. Just recently, however, Gutalax, a band from the Czech Republic, was here. <em>Goregrind<\/em> is what their musical style is called. \u201cBasically, they just grunt, yet on a high level,\u201d as the club manager describes it and he does not at all mean it ironically. In-between, there are events like readings, a circus for kids, techno, ska, the Odenwald Shanty Choir, newcomers and many regional artists. \u201cWe have worked together a lot with local bands right from the start\u2014and we will keep that going,\u201d Michael promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/minnow.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/minnow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/minnow.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/minnow-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wosonst.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/minnow-768x504.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It\u2019s a home game for Minnow in Caf\u00e9 Central\u2014they are from Weinheim.\u00a0<em>Foto: Simon Hofmann<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When he came to Caf\u00e9 Central in 1995, he was training to become an electronics specialist for energy systems. He never really worked in that profession, since Caf\u00e9 Central quickly took off. Even as a youngster, the man, who originally is from M\u00f6rlenbach, organised improvised concerts in the Odenwald forest. A carpenter friend built the stage, Michael and his friends organised the bands and drinks, took both to a hut in the forest and even performed on stage themselves. \u201cIn the Odenwald, you need to get something going by yourself, otherwise you\u2019re lost.

In Caf\u00e9 Central, he coaxed sounds out of little plastic pigs, amongst other things\u2014in front of merely 80 guests. \u201cCommercially, that went down the drain.
