For years, the cultural community has accompanied us with its educational offerings. The workshops on traditional crafts not only delighted our children but also reminded us adults of the beauty of old techniques. A true labor of love.
— Anastasia Kretschmer, participant in the pottery courses
The dialect readings are the highlight of my month. Finally, a place where our language stays alive and stories are told that connect us all. The atmosphere in the old inns is simply incomparable.
— Prof. Dr. Hellmuth Siebert B.Eng., regular guest
The harvest festivals show how strong our community is. Everyone helps, everyone contributes. This is living tradition that goes far beyond celebration. A role model for many other villages.
— Lieselotte Engelhardt-Förster, co-organizer

Proven for decades – real values that endure.
Our roots go far back. What began in 1892 with a small group is now a reliable network for everyone who values cultural heritage. No short-lived trends, but a foundation of handed-down knowledge and communal action.
Instead of abstract theory, we focus on tangible content: lectures on regional history, practical craft courses, and readings in dialect. Each offering is accompanied by experts who have lived their craft for years. This creates genuine understanding – not just knowledge.
Our members appreciate the personal atmosphere. Every event offers space for exchange, every initiative is carried together. Those who join us find no anonymous platform, but people who listen and help shape things. This creates bonds and reliability.
We promote regional cycles: local craftsmen, domestic producers, traditional recipes. Every workshop, every festival strengthens the local economy and preserves skills that are lost elsewhere. A counter-design to the throwaway culture – practical and down-to-earth.
