Overview
Look behind the medieval facades and industrial echoes of Moers and discover a city that coincidentally became the global epicenter for free jazz and underground rebellion. This tour shows you how a quiet German provincial town transformed into a laboratory for radical culture, where avant-garde musicians collided with bourgeois traditions and abandoned factories became temples of youthful resistance.
