Culture promotion in danger: tax money for artists remain unused!

Culture promotion in danger: tax money for artists remain unused!

In the Geretsried and Wolfratshausen region, the waves crash when it comes to cultural support and the use of tax money. The “FutureVision” association has been in the focus of the Bavarian Ministry of Culture for three years, although it has never appeared publicly. As the Süddeutsche Zeitung , all announced projects have been said so far, in the air got stuck.

While initially 24,000 euros were planned for art workshops that ultimately did not take place, another 22,300 euros should flow into the "art and climate garden Gelting". But the realization of this initiative is completely on the brink. On the property in question, where large plans for community art were once to be realized, only nettles and blackberry grates are now sprouting. The question arises: where is the money actually?

cultural grievances and new challenges

There is also another annoyance for the allotment gardeners. The association has withdrawn the soil that was intended for art and climate garden, which drives some members into despair. The chairman Silke Kraus, who bought the property from a Geltinger farmer, increased the lease fee per plot to 120 euros and issued new rules. This led to the termination of a few long -term lease contracts.

The water management office has now secured the property in order to use it for hydraulic engineering measures to improve the Loisach. The remaining lease contracts of the allotment gardeners run until March 2026. The association has not yet submitted the application for funding for the art and climate garden and 46,300 euros have been waiting for their deployment for years.

A look at the promotion of cultural projects

Projects such as a concert series to commemorate Emanuel von Seidl in Murnau and an open -air game "Rilke im Schlosspark" in Regensburg should be emphasized. All Bavarian government districts are represented, which underlines the diversity of the funded initiatives.

It remains to be seen whether the "FutureVision" association can still tear around the rudder and whether the challenges mentioned for the volunteers, such as Assunta Tammello, operator of the cabaret "ambush", are indicated in the foreseeable future. Because one thing is certain: a lot of movement in the cultural scene is still to be expected in Geretsried.
