He frequently commissions new works and is known for innovative programming that explores connections between different genres and historical periods.

Zur Hansemesse is a historic trade fair and exhibition center in Rostock, dating back to 1990, built on the grounds of the medieval city’s former harbor area and trading post. The name “Hansemesse” directly references Rostock’s significant role within the Hanseatic League – a powerful medieval commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns in Central and Northern Europe. While primarily a venue for trade shows today, it also hosts cultural events, leveraging its large hall capacities and central location. The building itself features modern architecture alongside preserved historical elements reflecting Rostock's trading past. The venue has become a prominent landmark within the city due to its size and frequent use for large-scale events.
