Intensiv Workshop
1. Create space. Maintain space.
August 21–22, 2026 | Urbanothek, Old Fire Station, Weimar
There are plenty of vacant spaces—yet good projects often can’t find a home or end up losing it. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to find spaces for your idea and secure them for the long term.
Whether for culture, education, housing, or work: Here you’ll gain clarity on the next steps, concrete approaches to organization and financing, inspiring examples, and connections to like-minded people.
Friday evening: Basics of collective real estate development and land use for the common good—with LeerGut agents and the Immovielien network.
Saturday: Work on your own projects + field trips to successful projects in Weimar, such as the Schwungfabrik, the Gaswerk, or the WerkBank.
Cost: Free (€20 meal allowance) | Registration is binding (max. 25 participants)
