Open art group for everyone, especially for people in challenging phases of life.
The resource-oriented group cordially invites all people - especially those who find themselves in challenging or changing phases of life, for example due to illness, career changes, the transition to retirement or similar situations.
In a protected and appreciative space, creating art together offers the opportunity to calm down and recharge your batteries. Creative inspiration promotes solution-oriented thinking and opens up new perspectives. This creates space for strengthening, personal development and confidence. Participation is free of charge.
Registration via: farbeleben@gmx.de
Exhibition format: "Seen like this."
In 2026, we will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Volkshaus Cotta. To prepare for this big celebration, we need your help! The house has been brought to life by so many people, ensembles and initiatives over the years. Every story, every picture and every document is an important part of it.
That is why we are inviting you: Share your memories! Whether it's a personal anecdote, an old photo or a drawing - your contributions are invaluable. Help us to preserve the stories surrounding the Volkshaus Cotta and make them visible for future generations.
Let's discover together the many facets of the former "Richard-Gärtner" district cultural center, which many of you will surely remember as the "Rote Hütte". We have collected treasures from private and public archives - from chronicles of the "Spielbrett" theater group to rediscovered photos of the reopening in 1980 and finds from the Deutsche Fotothek.
A healthy new year to you all!
We are currently planning the next offers and events. Soon there will be creative workshops, community parties and cultural events again! There will be exciting events for children, especially during the winter vacations.
We have lots of ideas and would be delighted if you would like to take part or support us. Please get in touch at mitmachen@neuesvolkshaus.de or come to the kiezSprechstunde on 21.01. from 2 - 5 pm at the VHC.
Drop by, meet your neighbors and let's shape the new year together.
We look forward to seeing you!
Nokia, Samsung or Apple. Rainer has a well-stocked box full of cell phone cables for older cell phone models. If necessary, come by and charge your cell phone. Ideally while you are taking advantage of an offer, during repair café times or during kiezSprechstunde.
We would like to develop projects together with senior citizens in and around the Volkshaus Cotta to revitalize the house and garden. Together with the volunteers and project manager Yvonne, you can develop and present your personal project idea in two ideas workshops. Perhaps you will find like-minded people in the group who would like to work on an idea together.
Finally, we will support you in bringing your project to life. To do this, you can take part in our monthly meetings. The entire offer is free of charge.
Please register by e-mail with Yvonne at yvonne@konglomerat.org or at 0176-22352779
