Kollektivcafé Kurbad

In the location's words:

The Kollektiv-Cafe Kurbad sees itself as a cultural and event venue that is integrated into the everyday life of the residents of Unterneustadt and is also visited by people from other parts of the city as a meeting place and a place for leisurely coffee breaks or reading. With the café, we want to create a place where, in addition to good coffee and delicious cakes at fair prices, there is also space for social interaction, culture, music and political life. There are also newspapers and books to browse and linger over.

At the end of the day, the sun on our terrace by the Fulda invites you to relax with a small snack and a good wine or a refreshing cold drink. In addition to the regular service, there is a varied and changing range of events, which we provide information about in the café and on our website and to which we cordially invite you!

The Kurbad Jungborn is the oldest still existing spa in Kassel and is a reminder of lively and convivial times on and in the Fulda. The museum in the building tells of the past bathing culture - we would like to bring something of the social life on the river of the past to life with the café.

The Kassel Bathing Museum, which has been open since summer 2011, is freely accessible during the café's opening hours and provides an insight into the development of modern bathing culture in Kassel, from the river baths in the 19th century to public cleansing baths and therapeutic bathing facilities.

Working in collective structures

The café is intended to offer us space to experiment with alternative forms of working together. We run it as a group that works together in collective structures on an equal footing and without a boss. According to our interpretation, this means that we organize our work in a solidary, self-determined, grassroots democratic way and with as little hierarchy as possible.
