It became a place to linger, exchange ideas, and share a common experience. In addition, the musical and artistic past of Worringer Platz was to be reflected upon and further developed. Conceptually, it built upon earlier projects such as the Single Club and the Ego Club—music clubs that had been run by artists at Worringer Platz in the past.”
