German Cabinet Approves Reform for Preußischer Kulturbesitz Foundation

The new legislation aims to modernize and grant more autonomy to Germany's largest cultural institution.

The reform replaces the outdated 1957 law governing the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz.
The foundation includes the State Library of Berlin and the State Museums of Berlin, with 15 collections and 4.7 million objects.
The initiative seeks to make the foundation more agile and internationally competitive.
Institutions under the foundation will receive more autonomy to enhance operational efficiency.
Cultural Minister Claudia Roth emphasizes the reform will attract a broader audience to the foundation's cultural offerings.
