Forum Kreuzberg

The Forum Kreuzberg is a socio-cultural living and working community located in the heart of Berlin-Kreuzberg. Founded in 1972 by Dr. Carl-Michael Wilhelmi, it is based on anthroposophical principles and emphasizes community self-management and self-determination. The community includes over 150 members who are engaged in various projects and initiatives, including a Waldorf kindergarten, theater studio, and workshops for arts and crafts. The housing project is part of the Forum Kreuzberg Wohngenossenschaft eG, which was established in 1993 by residents within the community. It focuses on cooperative living and has been a pioneer in implementing climate protection measures, such as solar panels, block heating power plants, and geothermal probes. The community aims to foster a sustainable environment and has been recognized for its efforts, winning the Klaus-Novy-Preis in 2022 for its commitment to climate-friendly living. The Forum Kreuzberg is not just a housing project but a vibrant community that offers a range of activities and services, making it a unique "village in the city".
