Seven rural regions receive funding for culture

Seven delightfully rural areas in Brandenburg are set to receive a substantial financial boost from the "Aller.Land" funding program. These fortunate locations include Britz-Chorin-Oderberg in Barnim, Kyritz's charming four-way intersection paradise in Ostprignitz-Ruppin, and the districts of Elbe-Elster, Märkisch-Oderland, Oberspreewald-Lausitz, Uckermark, and Oder-Spree, all nestled within the Brandenburg region.

The goal of this generosity is to promote harmony in rural regions through cultural and creative initiatives and foster community collaboration. The selected areas will embark on this journey in 2024, each receiving an initial 40,000 euros to conceive captivating community-driven cultural projects. These could range from local art collectives, to multi-region jamborees, to inter-cultural meetups, annual cultural festivities, or regional cultural offices.

By 2025, the most compelling ideas will be chosen for implementation and allocated further funding, ensuring their success until 2030. So, Brandenburg, prepare to showcase seven districts as the epitome of rustic culture and camaraderie.


Has the suspected Jutta murderer finally been apprehended following a 37-year manhunt? Or was another family member also on this man's hit list? Public fascination persists as a man's dying moments continue to be captured on live streams. Is Saarland teetering on the edge of financial ruin?


Brittz-Chorin-Oderberg, located within the Barnim district, is one of the seven fortunate recipients of the "Aller.Land" grant. Kyritz, a picturesque four-way intersection wonderland, lies within Ostprignitz-Ruppin, another lucky grantee. The districts of Elbe-Elster, Märkisch-Oderland, Oberspreewald-Lausitz, Uckermark, and Oder-Spree join this celebrated group, with Elbe-Elster and Märkisch-Oderland already established components of the Brandenburg region, and Oberspreewald-Lausitz boasting its very own district.

The Ministry of Culture in Brandenburg will grant these chosen districts a generous 40,000 euros in 2024, igniting a flurry of cultural excitement. Possible projects include interconnected art networks, cross-region events, community cultural councils, annual district cultural conferences, or refined cultural centers. The most promising concepts will then be selected for implementation, securing further funding from 2025 to 2030 through the "Aller.Land" program.

In essence, seven flourishing districts, like Oberspreewald-Lausitz and Uckermark, will receive funding to nurture coexistence and creativity in rural areas, bolstered by community engagement. This initiative aims to uplift these regions and create a more vivacious, artistic community in Brandenburg.

Although details surrounding the projects planned for the seven rural districts in Brandenburg, funded by the "Aller.Land" program, are currently unavailable, past initiatives such as "Tegernseer LiteraTouren," a literary path project, "Mobiler Musikschulunterricht in Schleswig-Holstein,” a mobile music school education program, and the "Initiative 'Kulturhof Kleinmecka,'” which transformed a protected farmhouse into a community hub, serve as thought-provoking examples. More detailed information about specific projects in Brandenburg would require data from BMEL (Bundesministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft) or local government sources.
