Overview
- Culture Minister Manja Schüle announced that the state will transfer the state‑owned Kloster Chorin into a dedicated state foundation to secure its future.
- The government has committed a recurring operating allocation of €900,000 to give the site stable funding and end the need for municipal advance payments.
- The move will relieve the municipality of Chorin, which until now ran the site and frequently had to cover operating shortfalls that strained its budget.
- Plans include passing a law to create the foundation, forming a regional commission to appoint a first director, and moving current staff into the new structure.
- Officials say the change is intended to preserve the monument and its cultural programming while keeping the complex open to the public under state stewardship.
