The Klaus Kuhnke Archive for Popular Music is a music library for popular music in Bremen. It was founded in 1975 as a non-profit limited company and has been an affiliated institute at the University of the Arts Bremen since 1991.

History[edit]

The Klaus Kuhnke Archive was founded in 1975 by the then-Radio Bremen editors Klaus Kuhnke [de], Manfred Miller [de] and Peter Schulze [de] as the Archiv für Populäre Musik GmbH. After the death of Klaus Kuhnke, the archive was renamed the Klaus Kuhnke Archive for Popular Music gemeinnützige GmbH.[1] Richard Weize became Klaus Kuhnke's successor as shareholder in 1998. Head of the archive is Ulrich Duve.[citation needed] Since 1991, the archive has been housed in the building of the former old grammar school, which today[when?] houses the music department of the University of the Arts Bremen.[2] The archive has officially become an affiliated institute of the university. The archive is a member of the IASA country group Germany/Switzerland.
