Located in the medieval city of Ravensburg, in southern Germany, Zehntscheuer Ravensburg is one of the region’s most unique and respected live music and cultural venues. Housed in a beautifully restored 14th-century building, it combines historic charm with modern acoustics to deliver unforgettable concerts, theatre performances, cabaret nights, and cultural events throughout the year.

Once a historic tithe barn (“Zehntscheuer” means tithing barn), the building now serves as a dynamic hub for music, comedy, spoken word, and art, connecting audiences across Baden-Württemberg and the Lake Constance region.

A Premier Cultural & Concert Venue in Southern Germany

Since opening as a cultural venue in 1983, Zehntscheuer Ravensburg has hosted dozens of concerts, festivals, and artistic events every season. The programme spans folk, jazz, blues, world music, pop, and cabaret, attracting both international performers and regional artists.

The venue’s design — a blend of exposed timber, vaulted ceilings, and modern lighting — creates a warm and intimate atmosphere, perfect for live music and cultural experiences. With professional sound systems and seating for around 200 guests, Zehntscheuer offers an ideal setting for both small and mid-size performances.

In addition to live concerts, the venue organizes literary readings, theatre performances, youth workshops, and the prestigious Ravensburger Kupferle cultural award, highlighting its deep community and artistic roots.
