About Volkshochschule Baden
The Volkshochschule Baden is a non-profit association for adult education in the town and district of Baden and, by its own account, has existed since 1957. Its headquarters and main course venue is its own training building at Johannesgasse 9, with numbered course rooms and its own teaching kitchen. There are also course venues in schools, kindergartens, the music school, the Haus der Kunst and cafés in the town, as well as online courses. The programme is published each semester as a booklet, as a PDF and in the web shop, where you can book courses directly.

Cooking courses in the VHS kitchen
In the culinary area, courses take place in the kitchen of the VHS building at Johannesgasse 9. They are usually single sessions on one topic. In the winter semester 2026/27, for example, the programme includes courses on breakfast, warming winter dishes and treats without white sugar, as well as "Spanisch kochen – Spanisch üben" (cook Spanish – practise Spanish): a Brazilian feijoada or Paraguayan empanadas are cooked while Spanish is spoken along the way. You can find the individual dates, course leaders and prices in the web shop under the category Kulinarik.
