The clubs

It is the year in which Apollo XI sets off on his journey to the moon and the student unrest spills over to Prague and Spain, when the bc Club is founded in 1969 at the Technische Hochschule Ilmenau. In the meantime, Mars is being explored more closely, employees demonstrate, Ilmenau is a university town and the days when bc guests had to leave their identity card number at the entrance are also over. The bc club's claim to distance itself from the ubiquitous chart music and to cover a wider range of music - especially niche areas - and to always be open to new things has remained. With numerous performances by national and international bands, the bc has made a name for itself as a live club in Ilmenau; in addition to the club concerts, DJ performances, readings and theme evenings are also an integral part of the programme. The cultural spectrum of the bc also extends to monthly events such as film evenings ("cinema with living room atmosphere") or the wine evening, where the bc turns into a small "bodega" on the first Sunday of every month. The bc club not only has the right atmosphere for celebrating, but also offers a cosy ambience for extended conversations thanks to its many seating arrangements. Completely run and supported by volunteer members - mainly students - everyone at the bc can contribute and implement their ideas and thus help shape student life in Ilmenau.
The bc is a change from everyday student life with music, conversation and drinking culture.

The BH-Club was founded in November 1968 and is located in the basement of house H (formerly block H, hence BH-Club). The club and the house were completely renovated from October 1997 to October 1998. Our club is usually open three times a week. For example, the Disco-Night takes place every Thursday. On Tuesdays and Saturdays we have theme nights such as Moonlightdance, Finest Urban Music and others. In order to expand our programme and make it more attractive, we are constantly looking for new club members with innovative ideas and commitment. Even if you have always wanted to stand behind the bar or at the DJ desk, this is the right place for you. Interested people can get a picture of us and club life at our club meeting. Membership in the bra club does not only mean work for the club people, but also a lot of fun. With this in mind, every year we organise a club trip, a Christmas party and club-internal activities.  You can find our monthly programme and further information (e.g. dates of the skate evenings) on our homepage. Of course you can also get information directly from the club.

Oldest club on campus. Long parties. A wide range of cocktails. Delicious cuisine. One of the most comprehensive whisky offers in Germany. The bi-club offers you all this. In addition, there is much more: songwriters, live bands, cabaret artists, comedians, motto parties. The list can be continued at will. We have aroused your interest? Monday, Wednesday and Friday our doors are open for you. Is that not enough for you? Then get active yourself. Everyone who would like to help is welcome. Just talk to us, or come to our club meeting on Tuesdays at 21:00.

Delicious cocktails, roaring parties, groovy concerts mixed with a dash of culture.... that's how you know the BD CLUB. But hardly anyone knows what exactly is behind the BD. The club team is essentially a hodgepodge of different people, mainly students, the whole range of "finished" students like engineers or even doctors and also quite normal people who have saved themselves a study. With so many different tastes, the decision is often not easy, so we have not yet decided on a musical genre, but rather roam the entire range on our club evenings on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We set highlights with various specials, which have already established themselves over time. These include our cocktail evening (every 3rd Tuesday of the month), but also international parties, cabaret evenings, Halloween, various theme evenings, where we spare no effort to project the respective flair onto the club premises and so on. Would you like to join in or have your own party at the BD CLUB? Then come along!

The bc student café has been in existence since 1987 and we share the premises in the basement of the C block with the bc student club. As the only student café on the Ilmenau campus, we offer a cosy atmosphere that invites you to take a coffee break between lectures. A variety of hot and cold drinks, delicious cake, current magazines and daily newspapers as well as a wide range of games guarantee distraction from the stress of university life. Almost every first Sunday of the month, the café offers the traditional all-you-can-eat brunch to all those who stayed here. Regular evening events (e.g. Night Café or Festa Caipi) from the areas of culture, party and entertainment demonstrate our ability to celebrate. We are looking forward to your visit!
