Who we are
Stadtverwicklung is a transdisciplinary collective that attempts to realise the vision of a solidary, democratic society within its own structures. This is why, for example, we do not have a managing director in the traditional sense - the managing directors of our gGmbH are controlled by our association Kollektiv Stadtverwicklung e.V., which was founded specifically for this purpose. The members of the association are employees of the gGmbH - so the employees manage their own organisation. By transferring the principle of the Mietshäuser-Syndikat to a company, we ensure the flattest possible hierarchies.

is a sociologist who has found her approach to a better life for all through space. Societal crises and social inequalities manifest spatially – creating spatial solutions can improve living conditions, foster hope, and strengthen communities. Cori translates this vision and motivation into concepts and strategies at Stadtverwicklung.

is a cultural and educational scientist as well as an A.T.C.C. conflict counsellor and trainer. She loves to identify entangled nodes and shadows in development processes and to utilise them constructively. In order to achieve socio-ecological change, we also need to take a courageous look at ourselves again and again, as this can often show us the steps we need to take. This motivates Elisabeth to support people and groups in urban development who want to put their projects on a constructive, future-oriented basis that is geared towards the common good.

is an urban and spatial planner and is currently responsible for community management at Stadtverwicklung. In his view, the search for answers to social developments and upheavals requires a holistic approach that places the needs of those affected at the centre. This vision of a city of tomorrow orientated towards the common good must be fed with projects today in order to become a reality.

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.
