In the location's words:

The Kulturzentrum Schlachthof has been Kassel's socio-cultural center since it was founded in 1978 and brings people from different nations and cultures together. We see ourselves as a driving force in the region - as a stage for art and culture with a sophisticated program of events, as a promoter of integration and participation for people from different social and ethnic backgrounds and as a place whereemployees, participantsand residents create cultural diversity and a lively community again and again.

Our services range from job application training and labor market integration to debt counseling, street work, parenting and childcare. A youth center and a complete cultural and event center with a beer garden offer the residents of the surrounding area a place to go and live. The historic brick building attracts around 800 people every day, who take part in courses, seek advice, experience culture or develop joint projects. It is at the heart of neighborhood relations in the three adjacent districts.

With around 150employees, the Schlachthof is one of the largest cultural centers in Germany and has extensive experience in social and cultural work. From the very beginning, thecenterhasdeveloped innovative concepts for neighborhood, cultural and integration workwith the participation of immigrants and in close cooperation with partners. Thanks to its interdisciplinary networking both locally and nationally, the Schlachthof is active in numerous networks at city, state and national level.
