In principle, the association also plans to replace the old music system in the Cotton Club, which should cost several thousand euros. A predecessor association had previously supported the worsted yarn and the fruit hall, but since December 2023 there has been a separate funding.

The founding meeting of the new support group took place in June 2024. In this context, the use of the boiler house is also discussed, which cannot be used due to asbestos loads. Petra Rödler, the chairwoman of the association, is planning to draw up a sheep figure on the premises, inspired by the logo of the support group.

History and use of the KammGarn

The Kammgarn cultural center in Schaffhausen is known for its diverse cultural activities. The KIK Kultur association in the Kammgarn is responsible, which has been organizing concerts, parties, film festivals and theater performances for over 30 years. The worsted yarn comprises a campaign room, a restaurant, a gallery and a music room. In the past, the worship yarn had around 80,000 guests annually, but is currently temporarily closed.

The historical development of the Kammgarn area goes back to 1049. From the foundation of the monastery to All Saints' Day to secularization in 1529 to the foundation of the worsted spinning mill in 1865, the site was witness to many changes. In 1997 the Kammgarn cultural center was opened in its current form, and in 2021 a project competition for the redesign of the Kammgarnhof took place. The worst has a rich program, including concerts, readings and children's concerts.

In the foundation of a cultural association, numerous factors must be observed, such as Deutsches-ehrenamt.de The association's purpose must be defined and at least seven people are required to hold a general meeting. Financing models and member structures must be carefully planned to ensure long -term promotion of culture.

The new support group will certainly play a central role in the cultural life of the worsts and its offers in the region.
