About us

The City of Kaiserslautern offers a wide variety of cultural events and institutions.

The Project

“Healing Culture” – Art and Culture on Prescription

How can art heal – and what role might cultural institutions play in this in the future? Within the framework of the programme, the Department of Culture of the City of Kaiserslautern aims to lay the groundwork for a pioneering initiative: developing a model in which doctors prescribe cultural participation. To make this possible, a feasibility study will be carried out to connect medical and cultural institutions, establish supportive structures, and examine the effectiveness of this approach through scientific research. In the process, new partnerships will emerge, perspectives will shift, and awareness of culture as a health-relevant public good will grow stronger.
The vision: to anchor culture as an integral part of prevention, therapy, and social wellbeing.

The Project

Dare to Trust / Hosts of the Future – or the Art of Hospitality

Dance is part of Wuppertal’s identity – but how can the art form truly be made accessible to all citizens? Tanz Station – Barmer Bahnhof seeks to rethink what a cultural institution can be: open, multi-perspectival, and collectively supported. Together with representatives from the city administration, municipal cultural venues, and the independent scene, Tanz Station aims to develop new forms of participation and collaboration, inspired by diverse cultures of hospitality. In this process, the experiences of cultural actors are shared with Wuppertal’s citizens, and cultural institutions are envisioned as spaces that welcome and connect.
