Katholisches Bildungswerk

What Katholisches Bildungswerk does

Katholisches Bildungswerk, operating as Katholische Erwachsenenbildung (KEB) Bayreuth - Hof - Kulmbach e.V., is a registered non-profit Catholic adult-education association headquartered in the Maximilian-Kolbe-Haus at Schulstr. 26, 95444 Bayreuth, Bavaria, Germany. The organization delivers adult and family education programs — including lectures (Vorträge), structured courses (Kurse), cultural study trips (Studienfahrten) and exhibition trips (Ausstellungsfahrten), parent-child groups, and the KESS-erziehen parenting curriculum — to Catholic adults and families across the Bayreuth, Hof, and Kulmbach regions of Upper Franconia. Programming is delivered through a central office and more than 35 local Catholic parish locations, with the organization operating under the ecclesiastical authority of the Erzbistum Bamberg and as a member of KEB Bayern and KEB Deutschland. QESplus quality management certification and GDPR/KDG data-protection compliance underpin its governance and program standards.

The revenue model is event-driven and fee-based: participants pay per-program unit prices that range from approximately 230 EUR for a one-day Bibliodrama workshop including room and catering, to 850 EUR for the Biennale Arte 2026 study trip, and 998 EUR for the Kärnten/Italy discovery trip from Nuremberg. The technology stack is intentionally lightweight, comprising a standard content-managed website, Matomo open-source analytics, Google Maps, YouTube, SoundCloud, and Yumpu integrations, with hosting by centron GmbH. Go-to-market is executed through the website, an email newsletter, partner parish bulletins, and cross-promotion links with KEB Bayern, the diocesan KEB office, and cultural institutions such as Kunstmuseum Bayreuth and Kunstverein Kulmbach. Co-organized study trips with Bayerisches Pilgerbüro gGmbH extend the offering into curated cultural-tourism territory, with travel logistics handled by an external pilgrimage operator.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• Familienbildung der Katholischen Kirche in Bayern: State-level Catholic family-education network offering KESS-erziehen, Eltern-Kind-Gruppen, and similar parenting programs across Bavaria. Directly comparable to KEB Bayreuth's Familienbildung portfolio and a likely channel partner or programmatic peer.

Direct peers

• KEB im Erzbistum Bamberg: Diocesan-level umbrella association for Catholic adult education within the Archdiocese of Bamberg. KEB Bayreuth is a member organization under it; both operate the same QESplus framework and share programming, speakers, and governance structures.
• KEB Hof: Sister KEB association covering the Hof region within the same coverage area as KEB Bayreuth. Same legal form (e.V.), same diocesan affiliation, and identical program structure — a direct peer in mission, geography, and operations.
• Volkshochschule Bayreuth: Municipal adult education center (VHS) in Bayreuth offering general adult courses, lectures, and cultural programs to the same regional audience. Directly comparable adult-education mission, pricing model, and curriculum scope — secular competitor to KEB Bayreuth's central offerings.
• KEB Bayern: Bavarian state association of Catholic adult education. KEB Bayreuth is a member and shares program standards, funding channels, and faculty networks — directly comparable mission, delivery model, and target audience.
• KEB Kulmbach: Sister KEB association covering the Kulmbach region within the same coverage area. Identical governance, program portfolio, and target audience — effectively a near-clone peer of KEB Bayreuth.

Others

• Bayerisches Pilgerbüro gGmbH: Bavarian pilgrimage office co-organizing study trips with KEB Bayreuth (e.g., Kärnten/Italy trip). Comparable in pilgrimage/travel-based adult education and an active channel partner rather than a competitor.
• Kunstmuseum Bayreuth: Venue partner hosting KEB lectures and cultural events in Bayreuth. Comparable in cultural-education programming for adult audiences and an ecosystem partner rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Evangelische Erwachsenenbildung im Erzbistum Bamberg (EEKBB): Protestant counterpart providing adult and family education within the same Bamberg ecclesiastical region. Closely comparable mission and program structure, differing only in denominational affiliation — the main faith-based alternative in the same geography.
• KEB Deutschland: National umbrella for Catholic adult education in Germany. Coordinates federal advocacy, content standards, and funding; KEB Bayreuth is a member. Operates at national rather than regional scale, but with overlapping mission and target audience.
