Above all, the people of Cottbus want culture to create a meeting place. They want to have the opportunity to be a part of culture themselves, for example by participating in poetry slams, bandperformances and dance evenings. Cottbus, with its many theatres and not least with the Stadthalle itself, offers a wealth of opportunities for culture for a passive spectator.
With our cultural garden we would like to counteract this. We want to transform this culture house from a passive waiting shell into a lively cultural venue that inspires and stimulates. In doing so, it is important to us to reach out to society in all its strata. With our multifaceted offer, we would like to facilitate encounters already in the thematic area, both for different age groups and for people of different origins. The culture house will continue to exist as such and offer regular events, but in addition, we are expanding the offer to include a café oriented towards the forecourt of the Stadthalle. It is intended to establish the forecourt as a lively recreation area. An art studio will encourage Cottbus residents to create culture themselves.
