Jovel

In the location's words:

The Jovel Music Hall, also known simply as Jovel (from the Masematte word for good), is a traditional club in Münster, Westphalia, with a capacity of around 1,500 people.

The Jovel was founded at the end of 1979 by Steffi Stephan (bassist with Udo Lindenberg) in a former cinema between "Dondersring" and the street "Am Krug". In 1987, after the dilapidated cinema and the neighboring pub "Neuer Krug" had to be demolished, the venue moved to the bottling hall of the former Germania brewery.

Numerous concerts and disco events were held at Jovel, including Udo Lindenberg, Simple Minds, BAP, Die Fantastischen Vier, H-Blockx and Miles Davis.

Due to the conversion of the Germania brewery site into a new lifestyle district, the last event at Jovel on Grevener Straße took place on June 4, 2006. After Frank Diez and the band Revolution, Steffi Stephan played together with friends including Carl Carlton, Hannes Bauer, Inga Rumpf and Udo Lindenberg.

The Jovel was demolished in November 2006 when the non-listed buildings of the former Germania brewery were dismantled.

However, in order to still be able to hold the traditional Christmas and New Year's Eve party in 2006, Jovel was granted a four-week exemption by the city of Münster to rent and use a warehouse in the immediate vicinity of the main fire station II at the harbor between December 8 and 31.

The City of Münster also granted such a permit for 2007. A breakthrough in the almost two-year search for a new location came with the insolvency of the Kiffe car dealership in September 2008, the second oldest Opel authorized dealer in Germany to date. In October 2008, Stephan signed an open-ended lease for the former listed car dealership from the 1930s, which was to house the Jovel Music Hall and continue the old tradition.

The new Jovel was opened on November 29, 2008 with a concert by Udo Lindenberg, Inga Rumpf, Julia Neigel, Steffi Stephan and the "Panikorchester". However, the long-term future depended for some time on the new, future owners of the property.[2] Steffi Stephan was looking for investors to buy the former car dealership herself. In November 2012, Stephan was able to take over the site and building in a bidding competition.
