after almost two years of downtime our CNC milling machine is working again. Milling can be carried out open workshop every two weeks and your questions best sent to: cnc@listen.konglomerat.orgIntros in which you learn how to operate the CNC machine yourself are in preparation. Let us know if you are interested!

Thanks to some members who have recently volunteered to look after the open workshop, we can finally fill this gap again after a long break 🙌A first internal test run took place yesterday to finalize the details and staffing of the next dates: We have agreed on Wednesday 18:00-20:00 and want to have it every 2 weeks for the time being. Here is some more information:

Long prepared - on April 27/28 the time had come. On the tables covered with white tablecloths, interested visitors found 5 "old-timers" of computer technology ready to play. Another 5 places simulated the "old-timers" on modern computer technology - everything was hands-on and hands-on. The children particularly enjoyed the pixelated games. These were still played using cassettes or floppy disks. It was also possible to show how, if you are interested, you can still get back to the originals of that time on modern devices.All in all - a success, even if the number of visitors did not meet our expectations.

On Saturday, April 13, 2024, the residents of Cotta moved to the meadow between the Hebbelstraße playground and the Neues Volkshaus Cotta to have a good time. 30 stalls were set up with all kinds of children's things, toys, books, technology and much more. The children and adults also enjoyed 3D printing. Everyone enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in the beautiful sunshine. Coffee and cake were provided in abundance.Thank you to everyone involved!We look forward to seeing you at the next flea market. This is expected to take place on September 14, 2024.

The Easter fire on the loading ramp was small but hot this year! In the casting workshopwe experimented with aluminum sand casting and Richard is already looking forward to the next meeting in May.

The woodworking shop has been established through a combination of Classified ad deals, account looting, and crowdfunding a awesome new planer!Delivery was an adventure, but now it's sitting pretty and planing away quietly

Once a month, things get magical at the Neues Volkshaus Cotta. That's when the ErzählRaum e.V. from Dresden invites you to the Open Storytelling Stage.Guests come to listen, enjoy and tell stories. It's not just the members of the association (Brit Magdon, Jule Richter, Katharina Randel) who tell stories on stage - guests are also invited to tell stories at the table or on stage. Many a laugh is heard, but often there is also reverent silence as people listen to the exciting stories.This is accompanied by a glass of wine, a sip of beer or a soft drink and everyone goes home filled with the new stories they have heard.Until April on the 2nd Wednesday of the month, then on the 3rd Wednesday of the month, all those interested are invited to be whisked away into the world of storytelling. We look forward to seeing you there!

So word has got around that there's always something going on here on Tuesdays. In addition to thiscolorful event, the topics change every week. The plan is to sing together, play games and bingo, do memory training for the elderlyand much more. After 2 hours of fun, dancing and a polonaise, it was time to call it a day. After all, it was already lunch time. Everyone was very happy - and that's the main thing.
