eastPLUGGED®

The protestant community in Ratingen-East is not only endued with the Friedenskirche [Church of Peace] and its church room, featuring a very special concert ambience by an interaction of architecture and liturgical stylistic elements.

The community is also proud to have Thomas Gerhold as their pastor, who is a music enthusiast and enables to perform various concerts and other cultural events as part of his theological activity, wherein the concerts with international guests are presented along with the USB foundation under the label eastPLUGGED®.

This cooperation allows to engage musicians of the premier league without any further support and without any influence by sponsors as well as to experience their performance in a very personal atmosphere. All employees of the foundation work on a voluntary basis.

The superb acoustic of the church interior, where numerous CD recordings took place, makes every concert a unique experience for guests and musicians.

Ahead of a concert drinks are served free of charge.

Reservations (ticketless) for an upcoming gig and can be made with a discount during the previous concert. Reservations can only be made online via the concert page of this website und subject to availability; no return or change of confirmed reservations being possible. NO BOX OFFICE!!!
