Attended to by the hyper-imaginative Swiss couple Knut Remond and Katharina Moos since 2008, ohrenhoch der Geräuschladen brings noise to the center of attention. Open to the public only on Sunday afternoons, ohrenhoch serves drinks—like the special peppermint-ginger-green ohrenhoch tea—to people who first and foremost listen.

From the speakers home-built by Remond, a sound artist himself, listeners can contemplate sonic works and installations by foreign and local artists and, periodically, pieces created by the ohrenhoch Kids. The “Kids” are 5 to 14-year-olds participating in Remond’s weekly workshops teaching children techniques of electro-acoustic music, field recording, Hörspiel and sound installation.
