Establishing a place for a social get-together is a very old dream of Franz Witzmann. The native Hainfelder always wanted to take care of a meeting point, where people enjoy their creativity at no charge. In the context and with support of the social festival  „Tu was, dann tut sich was.“ his dream becomes true now. Franz Witzmann taught German and was present and open for all ideas and wishes. For eight years he has managed the tiny house Comedor del Arte in the center in Hainfeld and has help many people.
Franz has passed away on July, 7th 2023. We are very sorry.

From the beginning, Renate Hoefler was a student learning Arabic led by Ghazi Hares at Comedor del Arte. Therefore she knows first hand how difficult it can be to learn a language that is very different from the native language. For quite a while she has been supporting our afternoon German language classes. In addition, the very talented Salesperson with the big heart is a great support at various Comedor initiatives.

Mika Abdullaeva is the musical ambassador of the Comedor del Arte. She was singing already on the Human-Rights stage during the Viennese Donauinselfest. She was also on stage together with her sister Aida at the opening of the Christmas season in Hainfeld. In her strong voice we hear her hope for more justice and fairness. In her songs we feel her longing for happiness.
