Cult pub Hirsch Q in Dortmund: Financial crisis threatens existence!

The "Hirsch Q" in Dortmund, an established institution of subculture, is in a serious financial crisis. The pub, which has played a central role in Dortmund nightlife for over 21 years, struggles to survive, triggered by rising costs and an unpredictable economic situation. A call for donations that started on the Gofundme platform is intended to help overcome the financial bottlenecks and save the pub.

The current situation of the "Hirsch Q" is alarming. After a turbulent move to new premises, which was longer and more expensive than expected, the pub had to remain closed for months. This closure led to significant loss of income, while the rent payments still had to be continued, which caused additional financial problems. Currently only the bar operation in the front area of ​​the pub takes place, which is not sufficient to cover the running costs.

call call and support

The call for financial support has already shown initial success. By January 14, 2025, over 5,000 euros were collected, but the goal should be 30,000 euros to enable a positive development for the "Hirsch Q". The reactions of the fans who express their grief and support on social media show the connection to the pub and their cultural heritage.

In addition to the challenges of the "Hirsch Q", there is another cult pub in Dortmund, the DUB jug, before the closure. This underlines the precarious situation of many traditional restaurants in the region. In a market that is repeatedly affected by unexpected economic changes, it remains to be seen how many other facilities in Dortmund can find the next step to stabilize your business.

The "Hirsch Q" has taken a special place in the Dortmund subculture. Their preservation is of great importance not only for the operators, but also for the entire community. The coming weeks will be crucial to determine whether the boss and her team can control the pub through this difficult phase and whether you can win the support of the city and its loyal visitors to keep your doors open in the long term.

The entire scene is looking forward to the development of this situation, and every contribution that is made via the Gofundme side could be decisive for the future of the" Hirsch Q ”.
