Save noncommercial cultural center and "Wagenplatz" Karl Helga

Karl Helga in west Leipzig houses 50 people living in self-built wagons, creating an unsealed space that supports biodiversity and resource-efficient living. A large hall hosts non-commercial events like concerts, theater, and art exhibitions, ensuring access for all. The site offers free rehearsal spaces and showcases local and international artists. Recently bought by a real estate firm, it faces uncertain future. Negotiations for a community buyback depend on raising funds through direct loans. Preserving Karl Helga is crucial for Leipzig’s cultural diversity.
