We are following the devastating floods that have caused major damage in Germany in recent days with great concern.
As cultural property is not spared in this situation, the Kulturstiftung der Länder has set up a special fund to rescue affected cultural property as part of the Action Fund for the Emergency Alliance for Culture. This is intended to support measures for the salvage, initial treatment, conservation and restoration of endangered, regionally and nationally significant, movable cultural assets in connection with the current flood disaster.
Projects are funded up to a maximum of 5,000 euros. Publicly accessible cultural institutions, including those run on a voluntary basis, are eligible to apply. The Emergency Alliance for Culture was initiated by the Kulturstiftung der Länder in 2021. It is an alliance for society as a whole that aims to increase the resilience of culture in crises and emergencies.
