About us
The KuKa principle
We stand for lively and colourful cultural events in Trier, the Moselle Valley and the Greater Region.
Nice to have you here! We are Kulturkarawane and create consumer-free, low-threshold cultural and meeting places in public spaces. Our most important goal: culture should be affordable and possible for EVERYONE. We want to use music as a common language to convey democratic thinking and behaviour. Our world, like our cultural offerings, is colourful and diverse!
Why a cultural caravan?
What we stand for
Jochen Leuf
ARTISTIC DIRECTION/ management
The creative "concept head" of the Kulturkarawane. As Managing Director, Jochen not only keeps track of a wide range of projects and events, but also develops ideas, conceptualises, inspires and motivates.
The artist and business administration graduate is the driving force behind Kulturkarawane: once an idea has captured his mind, he never lets it go until it is realised.
Toby Urban
Technical management
The sound and lighting expert in striped socks. In addition to being the "familiar face" of Kulturkarawane, Toby is a trained event technician. He is therefore responsible for everything to do with decibels, volts, watts, lumens and safety.
He takes care of the "good sound" at the concerts, lights up the stars on the Porta Nigra for the 1st Advent and makes sure that nobody bumps their head even in the hustle and bustle!
LINDA LEUF
SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
Our Kulturkarawane whirlwind for a better world! As an environmental scientist and conservationist, Linda long favoured cuddling with African big game before life (and love) brought her to Trier.
At Kulturkarawane, Linda is responsible for the ecological, regional, fair and sustainable organisation of our events.
Tamay Zieske
Commercial management/ Management
Cultural manager, networker, globetrotter. The areas in which Tamay brings his strengths and experience to Kulturkarawane are just as diverse as he is.
As the "master of numbers", he manages the commercial side of the caravan and is passionate about strategic development and cross-border cooperation. A source of ideas and an enthusiast for many wonderful projects.
The position is funded by the Ministry for Family, Women, Culture and Integration Rhineland-Palatinate and the City of Trier as part of the "Future through Culture" programme.
Max
TECHNICAL REALISATION
Our Jack of all trades! If Max didn't exist, we'd have to bake him. And we'd need a lot of baking powder. If you visit our events, Max is hard to miss. Two metres above the ground, his flowing hair blows either behind the mixing desk or in the stage area. 200 metal shirts in your wardrobe? Count him in!
Max also takes care of our warehouse management and is a major cog in the organisation of our events. We don't need another hero.
Charleen THEISEN
WORK STUDENT
The glitter dust of our projects! As a working student, Charleen supports us with research and the preparation and realisation of various projects. She landed in the exciting world of culture and events by a lucky coincidence, which unfortunately doesn't include a magic potion. What a pity. Nevertheless, she is very enthusiastic about the dynamics and creativity of cultural projects.
Charleen studies interior design in Trier and is a globetrotter. New cultures and landscapes? Totally her thing!
