 Responsibilities for the programme and – to the greatest possible extent – employment of staff were handed over to the “Lagerhalle-Verein” (Lagerhalle Association) which had arisen from the former citizens’ initiative.The Lagerhalle Osnabrück was a co-founder of the "Bundesvereinigung Soziokultureller Zentren" (Federal Association of Socio-Cultural Centres), established in 1979.Among other things the Lagerhalle's programme features arthouse cinema, theatre, readings, cabaret, events for children, lectures and concerts.
