On 7 December 2023, the Ministry of Home Affairs, Municipal Affairs, Building and Digitalization of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, RWE Power AG and the municipality of Merzenich jointly signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) at the Cubity Atelier House regarding the transfer of the village of Morschenich-Alt to the municipality of Merzenich.
With the early coal phase-out in 2030, RWE Power AG, the federal government and the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia have agreed to preserve six former lignite villages in the Rhenish mining area. Morschenich-Alt is the first village to be revived. The village of Morschenich-Alt will once again become a lively part of the municipality of Merzenich. With funding from the federal government and the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia, the village is set to become the first “place of the future” in the Rhenish district. This is a milestone for structural change in the Rhenish district.
The Britta and Ulrich Findeisen Foundation for Art and Architecture is delighted to welcome Sharon Nathan to its team as a new research assistant.

If we allow it, Advent is a cozy time – a time for reflection. We have illuminated the inside of the CUBITY Atelier House during the dark Advent and Christmas season – switching on a light as an inner and outer orientation. Because light is the source of life and means hope and warmth for us humans. Light allows us to be productive. It also gives us a sense of security. By illuminating our CUBITY, we send this hope out to people.
