In the Nevada desert (USA), the legendary Area 51 is a restricted military area where aliens are said to have once landed. In Hilden, Area 51 is a small cosmos for young people, cabaret, concerts and other events where visitors can leave their own planet behind for a few hours. The city of Hilden created the location in 2003 as a successor to the legendary Kleefer Hof youth center. The motif of aliens as cultural ambassadors became a trademark: intergalactic creatures adorn a signboard and several works of art. Posters of science fiction classics such as "Star Wars" and "Alien" hang in the foyer.
