The city is the campus

Ice cream parlors, restaurants, pubs, cafés, movie theaters and even your own club on a campus? At LCC this is possible, because here the city is the campus and the campus is the city. Thanks to short distances, you are always in the middle of the action.

Live close to nature

You love nature and like to do something outside? Perfect, because Kronach is not only the city with the three rivers, but also in the middle of nature. Here you can let off steam or relax. You decide.

Picturesque beautiful

You may have to get used to the cobblestones in the historic old town. They are just as much a part of the cityscape as the Rosenberg fortress towering over Kronach, the half-timbered houses or the city wall. Simply picturesquely beautiful.

Lively clubs and societies

You want to get involved and help shape or simply get to know something new, be it sports, cultural or social? Then the countless clubs in Kronach offer you many opportunities to enrich your life and society.

In addition, the countless sports clubs (e.g. soccer, volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis) are looking forward to meeting you. Are you looking for a thrill? Then off you go to gliding, as a guest or pilot - with a little more grounding you can go on the summer toboggan run or the raft trips on the Wilde Rodach.

Celebrate festivals

For a Bavarian county seat, it was to be expected: The fifth season in Kronach is called Freischießen. The Kronach shooting festival is the largest folk festival in the Franconian Forest with around 300,000 visitors on eleven festival days. A highlight, which will bring in your summer semester vacations properly swing. A highlight in the truest sense of the word is the light festival Kronach leuchtet: For three whole weeks, Kronach shines in a special light thanks to many different artists*. Supplemented by music and culinary delights, Kronach becomes a beacon for many visitors every year. At the festival Die Festung Rockt the guitars of national and international rock stars resound in Kronach. This festival shows what is possible in Kronach when more than 2,600 music fans make the fortress walls shake. In addition, there are many other large and small festivals in and around Kronach that are waiting to be discovered by you!

Namesake Lucas Cranach

Art experts know Lucas Cranach the Elder as one of the most productive painters of the Renaissance. However, the fact that he was a real multi-entrepreneur is hidden from many. The jack-of-all-trades Lucas Cranach was also a pharmacist, mayor (in Lutherstadt Wittenberg), publisher, paint manufacturer and paper merchant. Through his involvement, information and far-reaching ideas (like that of the Reformation) were able to reach many people. In the course of digitalization, this development has given rise to entirely new protagonists such as Elon Musk, Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg - with Lucas Cranach, they share the desire to take the reins of action into their own hands, to shape things.

Based on advanced division of labor and prefabricated templates, countless paintings were created in his Cranach workshop. The Cranach workshop was thus an early model for the co-working and maker spaces that will facilitate a modern form of study at LCC.

Lucas Cranach was a real maker, and is therefore the perfect namesake for the Lucas Cranach Campus: He not only thought things through, but also tackled, networked, implemented and designed.
