structural development

The Kulturfabrik Meda in Mittelherwigsdorf, together with the Raumpionieren Oberlausitz, invites you and opens its doors to everyone who wants to escape big city life, has recently moved to the region or wants to rediscover the good life here after returning to the country.

The Meda is not only one of the oldest residential projects in Upper Lusatia, but also a living example of a socio-cultural center in the countryside. This project shows how deeply rooted and effective community life can be in the region. The organizers are therefore particularly pleased that many people from the region want to support the event and share their diverse experiences.
