Culture Makes Cities

Berlin is a city of culture. The international art scene, the museums and galleries, the opera landscape and the numerous friends’ societies as well as the independent scene all contribute to Berlin’s image as a creative and dynamic metropolitan city. The future Humboldt-Forum in the heart of Berlin poses a special challenge. We wish to boost culture as one of the main pillars of Berlin’s future development. We are therefore working with many other players to devise strategies and make them the subject of public discussion so as to exert an influence on the decisions that are taken.

Art in the Centre of the City

Art and culture are good for a city’s image. But much more important is artists’ and creative workers’ long-term contribution to a city’s positive development. Artistic creativity builds future potential, generates an aura that radiates to other areas of society and helps make a city more attractive. That’s what makes art important and why its place is at the centre of the city. We address this topic in a variety of ways, one example being the Temporäre Kunsthalle Berlin.

Berlin's Opera Landscape

Culture is a cornerstone of Berlin’s future development. And there’s more to culture than just the fine arts and leisure activities: culture, then, also requires strategic development. And that applies in particular to Berlin’s opera houses.

Humboldt-Forum

The next few years will see the creation of the Humboldt Forum – one of Germany’s most important cultural construction projects – on Berlin’s Schlossplatz (Palace Square). But the Humboldt Forum is more just a palace, more than just a museum! The Stiftung Zukunft Berlin supports the project through a number of working groups and regular events and advocates designing the building in such a way as to offer multiple use options.

Friends of Culture Forum

Germans across the country are active in more than 1,000 friends of culture groups and societies supporting local cultural institutions. They collect money for and place their knowledge at the disposal of such institutions. In times when public budgets are tight, theatres, museums, concert halls and libraries have come to rely on this voluntary work.
