Who we are
The Stadtverwicklung is a transdisciplinary collective that seeks to realize the vision of a solidarity-based, democratic society even within its own structures. Therefore, for example, we don't have a traditional CEO – the CEOs of our nonprofit company are supervised by our own association, Kollektiv Stadtverwicklung e.V., which was specifically founded for this purpose. The members of the association are employees of the nonprofit – thus, the employees manage their own operation. By applying the principle of the Mietshäuser-Syndikat to a company, we ensure the flattest possible hierarchies.

Our Home
The WerkBank Weimar, located at Schubertstraße 10, is a creative hub with 900 square meters of space in the center of Weimar. The building houses many small offices, project rooms, a large co-working area, as well as kitchens, balconies, and a garden for communal use. What makes it special is that the building is collectively owned by its tenants. The WerkBank and its offerings emerged from the community for the community. Therefore, the WerkBank is the perfect place to connect with other people and foster collective creativity. We have taken up residence in two cozy and bright offices here, where we work daily on both old and new concepts.
