An unexpected opportunity, a quick decision - the Hyde Park was born. In 1976, the doors of the Osnabrück Music Hall opened, which has become a legend over the years. This book contains memories from visitors, DJs, and musicians, anecdotes, analyses, and previously little-known facts. A focus is on the hot summer of 1983, when protests erupted against the official closure of the Hyde Park, and police lines formed outside the door. Just a temporary end - the story of the Hyde Park extends to the present and beyond: the park remains a venue for youth culture and a forum for contemporary pop music. New generations have claimed the park as their own; they also have their voices in this volume. Featuring guest appearances by: Jello Biafra, Conny Dachs, Elf (Slime), Eric Fish (Subway to Sally), Bob G.
