Courageous - With - Do

The LCC introduces itself

What does the LCC stand for, what do municipal companies and the foundation do?

Educational platform for all

The LCC is an independently operating educational platform for all: Here, different partners can offer education for different target groups. It is important that the educational offerings fit the regional needs in the Kronach district. Accordingly, in addition to academic education, the LCC is also active in continuing vocational education (e.g., certificate course in digitization) and in supporting school education (e.g., LCC FabLab, student seminars).

Facilitator

Ideas need space, opportunities, and partners to become a reality. This is exactly where the LCC comes in: It offers people and organizations—whether companies, clubs, schools, or students—the right platform. Whether it’s a research project, a degree program, the path to self-employment, or a cultural event: Anyone who wants to “dare to get involved” and drive our region forward with fresh ideas will find the right support at the LCC.

The platform is built on two strong pillars: The LCC Foundation acts as a catalyst for regional needs and facilitates universities’ involvement in education and research. The LCC municipal enterprise provides the necessary infrastructure—from research facilities to office space.

Two organizations, one spirit

Achieving More Together: Behind the LCC are two organizations that take on different roles while pursuing a common goal. The LCC Kommunalunternehmen provides the appropriate conditions through classrooms, housing, and the necessary infrastructure. The LCC Stiftung brings the right people together and connects university partners with businesses, organizations, and schools in the region.

Two strong partners, a shared drive: Be Bold—Work Together—Get Things Done

Regional development

Together with numerous partners, the LCC Kommunalunternehmen and the LCC Stiftung are committed to ensuring that the Kronach district is sustainable and prepared for the future.

The LCC Kommunalunternehmen turns vacancies into new opportunities: It develops university facilities as well as modern residential and commercial spaces, creates affordable housing, and redesigns public spaces such as Hussitenplatz and facilities such as the LCC FabLab—for the entire community.

The LCC Stiftung brings together universities, students, and businesses and ensures that knowledge reaches where it is needed: in the region.

Our vision

The city is the campus, the campus is the city

Kronach is set to become a campus—and the campus a gathering place for the entire region. The Lucas Cranach Campus creates an open space where people can work, study, and live together, develop ideas, and engage in conversation with one another.

This connection is expected to have an impact far beyond the campus: The LCC’s influence strengthens the region, generates new momentum, and ensures its economic and social significance—both today and in the future.

Our basic understanding

Mutig - Mit - Machen

“Mutig - Mit - Machen” is more than just a slogan—it’s what drives us. For us, being bold means taking on new challenges and staying open to new ideas. Getting involved means bringing people together, sharing knowledge, and making a big difference together.

That’s exactly what makes the LCC special: an entire county, several colleges and degree programs, a growing number of students, and numerous companies, organizations, and clubs all come together here. Anyone who wants to make a difference, try something new, and break new ground together is part of the LCC.

We believe in ourselves and in others. We lead the way. We bring others along with us. And we just do it. That is the spirit behind everything we do.

 

Our values

Courage

Courage means breaking new ground—and believing in yourself and others. The LCC thinks outside the box, tries out the unusual, and is open to new ideas. Because only those who have the courage to try something new can actively shape the future.

 

Partnership

The LCC acts as a platform that enables people and organizations to implement their own ideas. Our credo: Only when everyone works together can individual ideas be turned into a comprehensive regional development project and the region's future be shaped.

Practical relevance

We bring companies, universities, and students together and create opportunities for collaboration that put knowledge into practice. At the same time, we support the regional economy and organizations such as clubs and schools. After all, practical relevance is a top priority for us.

It all started with a vision. Ten years ago, no one would have thought that a dynamic educational landscape could develop in Kronach. It all started with the study prgram "ZukunftsDesign" and 22 students. Today, there are three colleges here—what other city can match that?

The most important milestones on the path to a strong regional project:

  • 10 years ago: Initial initiatives and concepts set the ball rolling for Kronach’s academic future
  • 2020/2021: The LCC Kommunalunternehmen and the LCC Stiftung were established. Kronach officially became a college town.
  • Campus expansion: Forward-looking degree programs such as Autonomous Driving (Hochschule Coburg) and Innovative Healthcare (Hochschule Hof) are launched. At the same time, modern buildings like the LCC FabLab are being expanded.
  • Today: Six innovative degree programs from two universities are bringing skilled professionals to the region. At the same time, vacant space in the old town has been transformed into 8,500 m² of vibrant teaching and research space. At the start of the winter term 2026/27, ca. 550 students are studying at the LCC. By 2035, we aim to reach 1000 students.

Both organizations are shaping the future of the Lucas Cranach Campus, but they take on very different roles.

Essentially, the division of labor can be summarized as follows:

  • LCC Municipal Enterprise (Infrastructure & Construction): This organization focuses on the campus’s foundation. The municipal enterprise manages the structural and technical infrastructure for the university partners as well as subsidized housing.
  • LCC Foundation (Networking & Support): The foundation is the behind-the-scenes enabler. It supports, connects, and promotes the various partners on campus—from universities and students to businesses and organizations.

In short: The municipal enterprise creates the space and facilities, while the foundation fosters life, projects, and collaborations on campus!
