We tell our district anew – and we want to give space for your stories, from the heart of Langwasser!
Whether you like to write or read, experiment with sound or mash things up with clay, there’s something here for everyone.
We collect all the things that make Langwasser and put them on the stage (or in a newspaper, exhibition, on the net. ).
Until summer 2022 there are different projects you can participate in, you can learn to write texts in the writing workshop, make videos in media workshops, mud in the sound workshop, experiment with sounds and "record" the district and much more!
Writing workshop – be there!
You can learn how best to get your story down on paper in free writing workshops with award-winning writer Leonhard F. Learn Seidl.
What you need for the course? Only interested in writing. Everything else comes naturally.
You can’t speak German well yet? Even that is no obstacle, because we have a teacher with us, who will help you to find the right words.
Or would you like to write in a language other than German? This is also possible!
As soon as the corona situation allows it, the 3-month courses will start. Just write us if you want to participate, we are looking forward to you!

A district newspaper for Langwasser!
Actually, we would have liked to go on a voyage of discovery with you already in spring and summer 2020, to form lively groups, to research, to write texts, to make music and to design. Since this was hardly possible at the moment due to the Covid 19 pandemic, we thought of something else to put your stories in the spotlight:
A district newspaper, filled with stories from here, which lands in all mailboxes in Langwasser!
For all people outside Langwasser: You can get the newspaper from us, download it here on the website or look out for it in the various municipal distribution points (museums, Kulturinfo etc). We will also supply cafes and bars!
The background to the project "We.Writing.History"
Langwasser has grown to become Nuremberg’s largest district: almost 40,000 residents live here.000 residents live here.
The rapid growth of the neighborhood has led to a special mix of the district’s population. The WIR Project.WRITE.HISTORY takes a look at the people who live here and puts the diverse district where it belongs: in the spotlight!

With WE.WRITE.HISTORY we bring your Langwasser on stage
This is what it looked like at a partner facility in Sejny, Poland, which we visited for inspiration. The little actors and actresses were very happy about our #LNGWSSR balloons!
This is the stage set from the partner project in Sejny – we are very curious to see what kind of landscape of utopian Langwasser will be created here in our district!
Participation is very easy!
Dear versatile interested and creative people from Langwasser, at our project "WE.WRITE.HISTORY" you are exactly right.
Be there too!
