Spring? Check.

Renovation? Check.

Buzzing for an outdoor daytime rave? Check!

Honestly, things could hardly be going better…

if it weren’t for the numbers.

Having some actual liquidity and not constantly running on fumes?

Yeah… not so much.

As we all know:

when it comes to money, cash is king.

And ours is slowly running out.

Our beloved club project ost:end, which first grew out of collective structures in 2019 and, after the pandemic, developed into a cultural business on the grounds of Tanklager West, has paid a serious price over the past three years on its way to becoming an established and officially approved (!) club and cultural venue. Sure, energetically too, but above all, financially.

Three years of interim concepts, sporadic rentals, and constant relocations across our own site. Building infrastructure up from scratch (water/electricity), plus extremely costly contaminated-site clean-up. Ongoing expenses, staff, authorities. New challenges, concepts, and construction sites again and again.

And on top of that: an absurd approval process.

With all the consulting, planning, and preliminary requests, we could never have imagined that the process of getting just one club building approved would eat us alive like this and slowly but steadily drain us dry.

And now that everything’s finally approved – big YEAH for that, just real quick – everything still has to actually be fully finished and rebuilt.

We’ve already come a long way, the biggest hurdles are behind us, and we’re getting important support from the city and the state.

And of course, from you! Ever since hour one.

So that this doesn’t throw us off track right before the finish line, we urgently need your financial support now.

Just to put a number on it:

we’re currently short €65,000 in the short term so we can keep going;

on the construction site and with preparations for the upcoming open-air season.

Here’s the idea:

You support us with a donation and help carry the space through the renovation phase with a solidarity ticket here:

The goal: we stay in the game.

The benefit: we stay in the game. 😉

And: for donations of €30 or more, there’s the option to get on the guest list for the pre-club opening!

Just send an email to support@ostend.club and you’ll get all the details.

Think of it as crowdfunding – the soft edition, basically.

A full campaign takes time, planning, and structure.

This way just gets us moving faster 🙂

Step by step.

Step 1: Keep going ♥️

Let’s pour the foundation for a new club in Leipzig. Together.

With eternal love,

your ost:end 2.0
