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. The interactive museum project HAUSBODEN, Löbtop e.V. and Freundeskreis Cotta have now joined the group. Other participating individuals and institutions are very welcome.
The working group is currently working on the following topics:
- Preservation and operation of the Volkshaus Cotta as a cultural and neighborhood center
- Preservation and development of HausBoden as a museum site in Cotta
- Accompanying the planning of the Borngraben
- Presence at Dresden city festivals (e.g. Löbatu town hall park festival, Leutewitz late summer festival)
- Participation in the Open Monument Day
- Cataloging of objects and documents on the history of the district
- Exhibitions and publications
- Regular events (lectures, discussions, etc.)
We are currently looking for photos, drawings, documents and many, many contemporary witnesses to tell us about the past and collect interesting facts with us. from 2026 to 2028, we want to organize an exhibition in our Volkshaus with their stories for all interested parties. What do you know about the west of Dresden, Cotta's history and the former Richard-Gärtner-Haus and later Kulturhaus? We are looking for your stories in connection with the new Volkshaus Cotta!
