Our association
There is no company behind Faust, but a registered association: Freunde des Faust e.V., based in Stuttgart. Everyone working here does so voluntarily alongside their studies - from bar shifts to bookkeeping. Whether you study at the University of Stuttgart, HdM, HFT, Hohenheim or somewhere else entirely (or not at all): you are welcome.
Where the money goes
We are an ordinary registered association, not a corporation - and nobody here earns money from it. Of whatever is left at the end of a year, we donate 50% to good causes. The other half goes straight back into our venue: equipment, furnishings, maintenance and fair prices. And because all our events are free, you never pay admission for an evening at Faust.
The team
The association lives on many helping hands. These people are currently holding the place together:
Silas Martin
Bar, Events, Vorstand, IT, Finanzen

Not sure which team fits?
That is completely fine. Tell us what you enjoy and roughly how much time you have. We will find an easy first step together – even if it is only for one evening.
Help me get startedIt is hard to sum up on one page what we are and do. Just talk to us at the bar on any evening, message us on Instagram or send an email - no strings attached. And if you have no time to help out, you can support us as a member.
