About Freizeithaus Kirchdorf-Süd
editThe Freizeithaus Kirchdorf-Süd, since 1994 a fixed part of the Kirchdorf-Süd neighborhood in Wilhelmsburg, offers a variety of recreational opportunities and social initiatives for the community. Nestled in an idyllic setting between small gardens and horse pastures, the architecturally designed building reminiscent of a Lower Saxony farmhouse serves as an oasis of calm and community amidst the large residential area.

- Event Rooms: Ideal for celebrations, meetings, and learning events, equipped with kitchens and direct access to the garden.
- Cultural and Recreational Offers: From theater and music groups to courses in movement, relaxation, yoga, and more.

Mission and Values
editThe main mission of the Freizeithaus is to create opportunities for shared leisure activities and to promote the acquaintance and networking of residents. The Freizeithaus encourages people to become active, whether through dance classes, craft groups, or initiatives to improve living conditions. Another central value is the promotion of equitable participation opportunities for all members of the community.
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editThe Freizeithaus Kirchdorf-Süd is actively committed to social justice and sustainability. The building itself is mostly constructed from natural materials and features a green roof that contributes to ecological sustainability. Furthermore, the Freizeithaus advocates for fairer participation opportunities by supporting programs like the "Simple Layout" for better communication and the publication of a neighborhood map for refugees and locals. Participation in networks such as the AG Kirchdorf and the Network Against Right-Wing Extremism in Wilhelmsburg underscores the commitment to social sustainability and community development.
Team and Support
editThe dedicated team of the Freizeithaus consists of the director Barbara Kopf, who has been leading the conceptual and programmatic development since the opening, Bettina Timmer, who is responsible for organizing events and cleanliness, and Richard Schulz, the caretaker. The team is supported by several freelance workers and ten volunteers who are particularly active during larger events such as flea markets or children's theater.
The Freizeithaus Kirchdorf-Süd is a vibrant meeting place that, through its diverse offerings and commitment to the community, makes an important contribution to the social and cultural development of the neighborhood.
