Studentenbar HdR's music license is suspended until February 1, 2026, due to persistent noise complaints. The suspension follows allegations that the bar manipulated its decibel meter to show lower noise levels than actual, leading to police intervention. The bar will remain open but will host music-free events, while management cites external factors and previous investments in noise reduction.
