Eurythmeum e.V.

What Eurythmeum e.V. does

Eurythmeum e.V. is a Stuttgart-based, non-profit registered association (eingetragener Verein, Amtsgericht Stuttgart, VR 1324) founded in 1924 as the world's first eurythmics school. Its core activity is delivering higher-education and professional stage training in eurythmy — a movement art developed by Rudolf Steiner that renders speech and music visible through gesture and spatial movement — and presenting professional eurythmy performances. The academic portfolio comprises a four-year Bachelor of Arts (Eurythmie mit pädagogischer Basisqualifikation), a one-year Master of Arts (Eurythmiepädagogik) awarded in cooperation with Freie Hochschule Stuttgart, a one-to-three year certified stage training (Bühnenausbildung), and supplementary Heileurythmie and Sozialeurythmie specializations. Two ensembles operate under the organization: the professional Else-Klink-Ensemble (lecturers, stage members, and stage students developing new programs) and the Märchenensemble (fairy-tale performances for schools and families).

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: annual tuition (€2,150 per study year), mandatory semester fees including a €70/year trimester fee, €120 one-time enrollment fee, and €55/semester StudiTicket; performance ticket sales (€5–€25 evening, €5–€15 Märchen); continuing-education courses such as Eurythmiefortbildung at €100–€200; and tuition-financing intermediation via an internal Studentenfonds and external Dutch Iona Stichting grants. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via on-campus enrollment plus box-office and touring guest performances at Waldorf schools, anthroposophical institutions, clinics, and cultural venues in Germany and abroad. The go-to-market is also event-driven, with touring used to generate visibility and recruit students.

The institution is governed by a four-member board (Vorstand) — Luise Bärte, Matthias Ulrich Jeuken, Johannes Maier, and Tania Mierau — and is currently navigating a generational transition in faculty as Else Klink's direct students retire. Co-located on Stuttgart's anthroposophical Campus A alongside Freie Waldorfschule Uhlandshöhe and the Rudolf Steiner Haus, the Eurythmeum serves as both a training institution and a cultural venue within the global anthroposophical movement.
