Looking Back: The Big Apple Disco

 This is one of a series of essays on locations around Wiesbaden for Army/AF people who were based here in the 1960s to 1980s.

The Big Apple Disco, on Kirchgasse 66?  Gone.  

Some will say that it went away around 2003/2004, flipping to techno music, and losing some of it's audience.

If you remember the entire structure.....part was a kino/theater, and the rest was a ballroom, which was made up in the late 1970s to be a disco operation.  The story goes that it was the second disco establishment in Germany (whether the story is true or not.....unknown).

In terms of business, I think by the mid-1990s, it was marginally surviving.  

There's been talks (since 2017) of converting it into something 'else'.
