Kulturfabrik, Theatre venue in Koblenz, Germany
Kulturfabrik occupies a Gründerzeit factory building of the Couvertierfabrik Mayer-Alberti, founded in 1862 in the Lützel district. Its theatre hall seats up to 350 people, and the building also holds a gallery, a gastronomy area open during events, and a rehearsal and ballet hall on the first floor.
The Mayer-Alberti envelope factory, founded in 1862 in Lützel, grew into Europe's largest envelope manufacturer. In 1938 the company was aryanized and its Jewish owners emigrated to the USA. Air raids on Koblenz largely destroyed the factory buildings; the surviving structure later housed the Kulturfabrik, opened in 1980 by the dance theatre Regenbogen.
The name shortens to KUFA and recalls the site's past as the Mayer-Alberti envelope factory. Since 1992 the Koblenzer Jugendtheater has been based here, staging its productions and keeping workshops, rehearsal and storage rooms on site. The Jugendkunstwerkstatt Koblenz, the first youth art school in Rhineland-Palatinate, was founded here in 1991. A youth gallery shows work by still-unknown artists.
Kulturfabrik occupies the former Mayer-Alberti envelope factory in the Lützel district; the theatre hall seats up to 350, with a gallery, a first-floor rehearsal and ballet room, and a bar open during events. The Kulturbüro Rheinland-Pfalz left the third floor at the end of 2011.
Kulturfabrik was founded in 1980 by a dance group that revived the then-empty factory building. It became the first independent theatre in the entire Middle Rhine region.
