About us

The association KULTURBÄCKEREI pursues the idea of developing, establishing and operating a socio-cultural centre in and for Mainz’s Neustadt district.

The Project

Spaces of Possibility: Socio-Cultural Centre Mainz

With KULTURBÄCKEREI, a new centre for socio-cultural engagement is taking shape in Mainz – the first of its kind in the city. The association operates independently in its thematic focus, driven by strong social commitment. Here, culture is not seen as a luxury, but as a societal necessity: a tool for active involvement, enabling participation, and strengthening democratic processes.
The guiding question is: what can a place achieve that takes “Cultural Citizenship” seriously – that is, not only facilitating cultural participation, but also making power structures visible and challenging them? KULTURBÄCKEREI aims to explore exactly this, creating a conceptual and structural foundation for a long-term, forward-looking model of cultural participation.

About us

In Erfurt, a Vibrant Hub for Art, Culture and Creative Encounter is Taking Shape. Open, diverse, and steeped in history, the KulturQuartier Erfurt e. V., together with its partners, is redeveloping the former theatre into an inspiring centre for cultural interaction and creative urban development.

The Project

The KulturQuartier of TOMORROW – Shaping the Future Together! Using Resources, Creating Spaces, Strengthening Networks

Located in the heart of Erfurt’s city centre, the KulturQuartier Schauspielhaus Erfurt is a civic-led, open space for cultural encounter and collaborative creation. Supported by KulturQuartier Erfurt e. V., together with the cooperative Genossenschaft KulturQuartier Schauspielhaus eG and three partner organisations – Tanztheater Erfurt e. V., Radio F.R.E.I., and KINOKLUB Erfurt e. V. – the initiative focuses on central questions: How can cultural participation help to revive inner-city cultural spaces? How can organisational structures be made more democratic and offerings more accessible? The aim is, among other things, to foster a culture of joint action through low-threshold participation and cooperation formats.
