Kasseturm

Kasseturm occupies a historic tower on Goetheplatz in central Weimar and holds the distinction of being Germany's oldest continuously running student club, drawing a young crowd dominated by Bauhaus-Universität students alongside local twenty-somethings. The atmosphere is unpretentious and studenty rather than glamorous -- casual wear is the norm, and the door policy is relaxed with an 18+ minimum for late-night events, though some student-organized parties skew younger with restricted access. The tower's compact, multi-level layout creates an intimate, packed-dancefloor feel once a night gets going, particularly on weekends. Musical programming rotates through DJ sets covering electronic, indie, and pop, plus regular live band nights and themed parties tied to the university calendar. The drinks programme is budget-friendly and beer-led, with Thuringian pilsner and simple mixed drinks priced low by German club standards, generally €2-5, reflecting the venue's student-club roots. Event nights typically start around 21:00-22:00 and run late, with Friday and Saturday drawing the largest crowds; there is no regular weekly schedule outside the event calendar, so hours should be checked in advance. Cover charges run €5-12 depending on the event, with student discounts sometimes available; reservations are not part of the club's format, and there is no bottle-service programme. Kasseturm's long-running student-club identity and historic tower setting make it a fixture of Weimar's nightlife distinct from the city's more polished bar scene.
