Kunst und Natur e.V.
Steinfurth is a small village near the Hanseatic city of Greifswald, first mentioned in a document in 1405. In the village there is a destroyed church and reminds of the medieval times. The very active community is currently trying to restore part of this monument and use it for cultural events such as concerts or exhibitions. The old cultural house of Steinfurth was built in 1955 and served as a meeting place for a long time. With the fall of the Berlin Wall and due to its short-term use as a refugee home, this function was lost. In 2011, the artist couple Elisa and Mathias Bartoszewski bought the building and now use it with the Kunst und Natur e.V. for various art and cultural events.
The association wants to refresh life in the rural area through networking and cultural offerings and encourage a different lifestyle. We work together with artists, musicians and gardeners. We organize workshops, cultural events such as puppet shows, painting and music lessons, workshops, nature and garden tours, creative activities for children, youth and adults, exhibitions and readings.
