Café ExZess in Frankfurt's Bockenheim district stands as a self-organized, non-commercial hub welcoming diverse groups. The vibe is relaxed yet politically charged, firmly opposing racism, sexism, and nationalism. Patrons enjoy the space without any purchase obligation, joining bar nights, political gatherings, or theater shows in a communal atmosphere.
Offerings include regular infoshops with lending library and archive, concerts, readings, people's kitchens, and meetings of left-leaning initiatives. Highlights feature queer bar evenings and open plenums that embody its self-managed ethos. Monday café sessions provide drinks, while Sundays host the infoshop. ExZess empowers ideas and group formations in a smoke-free, inclusive environment shaped collectively by all involved.
