Kulturfabrik Esch-sur-Alzette (KuFa) is a cultural centre located in a former slaughterhouse in the city of Esch-sur-Alzette in Luxembourg. As of 2019, the state-funded centre attracts almost 80,000 visitors a year.
From the 1880s until 1979, the complex of buildings served as the public slaughterhouse house of the city of Esch-sur-Alzette. [1] Then in 1982 the buildings were squatted by the Theater GmbH, which used the spaces for rehearsals and performances. This was formalised by the creation of a non-profit organisation in 1983,. [2] The Kulturfabrik became a cultural centre with state support in 1996. It received a renovation grant of 1.93 million euros, and in 2002 was receiving 308,000 euros yearly to cover running costs. [3] The Kulturfabrik opened officially in 1998. [2]
The Kulturfabrik is used as a cultural centre for artist residencies and as a platform for sustainable development. [4] As of 2019, the centre attracts almost 80,000 visitors yearly. [5] There are 21 employees on permanent contracts and 6 on fixed term contracts. [6]
The music venue has a capacity of 900 people. [7] The centre also has a cinema, a café and a restaurant. [8]
Enfin, si la Kulturfabrik attire près de 80 000 personnes par an, c'est en partie grâce à la multiplication de ses équipements.
Une équipe qui s'articule autour de 21 personnes salariées en CDI et 6 en CDD.
En plus de la salle de 850 places, elle dispose d'une brasserie (28 000 clients à l'année), du cinéma Kinosch (3 401 visiteurs), et d'un café (16 000 clients).
