With their wide-ranging ideas, the Pavillon Cultural Center and the Orchester im Treppenhaus were able to impress the foundation and win the award, which comes with a cash prize of 3,000 euros each.

Hanover Pavilion

The Pavillon Hannover sociocultural center and the Theaterwerkstatt have been implementing a comprehensive sustainability plan for years. A major energy-efficient building renovation in 2013, solar panels installed on the roof, reducing plastic use, and reusing stage sets are just a few examples of how these initiatives come together to form a broad, holistic approach to sustainability.

The Orchester im Treppenhaus’s sustainability concept incorporates not only environmental and economic factors but also a social strategy. Furthermore, the content of its projects focuses on raising awareness of environmental, social, and socially critical issues.
