The AG Stadtteilkultur is a working group of people who want to get involved in the Cotta district. It deals with urban planning and urban development, monument protection, the history of the district, its people and buildings and other topics. We initiated this working group to mark the 100th anniversary of the Volkshaus Cotta.

With the working group, we want to network and support existing initiatives in the district together with interested Cotta citizens. In the meantime, the interactive Museum project HAUSBODENthe Löbtop e.V. and the Freundeskreis Cotta. Other participating individuals and institutions are very welcome.
