Short story about the cult discotheque Club 74:
The small place Waldems-Esch is also called the Gateway to the Golden Ground. For many, however, for a long time it was primarily one thing: the gateway to unusual music off the mainstream. When the "Club 74" opened its doors on March 8, 1974, as one of many discotheques of that era, no one would have thought that this would be the beginning of a nearly 33-year-long story. Initially located in the old hall building of the inn "Zur Krone," Club 74 quickly captured a diverse audience. Here, everyone celebrated together: people aged 16 to 60, hippies, metalheads, punks, darkwavers, and many others together with students and members of the nearby US Army bases. "The Club," as it was casually called, established itself from a regional institution to one of national significance. Its founder Hans (†2017), the staff, and especially the throngs of DJs, the special audience, and the expressive dance style of many "Club-goers" made Club 74 a legendary, almost magical place for many. There was no dress code or fear of embarrassing oneself on the dance floor - whether barefoot or in high heels, the club celebrated, danced, and turned the night into day together. Even FAZ acknowledged in May 1990: "The secret center of the world is the Club 74 in Waldems-Esch anyway." The move from the Western-style dance hall to the comparatively sterile-looking premises in the industrial area on Christmas Day 1994 marked a first rupture for some traditionalists. Nevertheless, another 12 years of club history were written thereafter and feet danced sore on the wrought-iron bordered dance floor.
When Club 74 closed its doors forever on December 26, 2006, it was the end of an era for many.
