Perspektive 2025!
13 Jan 2025
The Fonds will receive further funding from the budget of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media for the funding year 2025. A total of 7.6 million euros will be available to support the independent performing arts - a strong signal in challenging times. This means that the cut is less than initially announced. Managing Director Holger Bergmann explains the background, consequences and associated prospects for the Fonds in a video statement.
We provide a comprehensive review of the 2025 budget cuts here.

© Marcus Lieberenz

After all, doesn’t its power to unleash new worlds lie precisely in its freedom? In these times, that would perhaps be the most political statement in the negotiation of democratic public spheres.
