The tithe barn in Amorbach, built in 1488, has for five hundred years had a central importance to the town. Originally built to store tithes in the form of produce for the Electors of Kurf�rsten, it was � after extensive remodelling in the 1960s � run as a cinema.
The Kulturkreis Zehntscheuer Amorbach e.V. (�Amorbach Tithe Barn Cultural Circle�), which outfitted the building in 1991 as a cabaret theatre, has taken upon itself, besides the programmes offered in this establishment, to maintain and renovate the building, which stands in the historical town centre. The preliminary high point of this process came when this club bought the tithe barn in 2001.
Over the past few years, bit by bit, the toilet facilities have been modernized and expanded, the slanted floor from the barn�s time as a cinema has been evened and the whole inside and outside plastering together with the paint has been renovated or renewed. Rounding out the whole are a sound and light facility and a kitchen that met with requirements. For the fa�ade, traditional colours and techniques were used under professional guidance. Since the new furnishings were introduced, the interior has distinguished itself with its comfortable atmosphere and special flair. Two thousand five hundred hours of volunteer work and well over �120,000 were needed to achieve all this. Funding for this effort came from � among other things � donation drives, benefit concerts and the club�s financial reserves. The work is not yet fully done; there is still much to do.
