Haus & Grund Lübeck donates 10,000 euros to maintain the 7 towers!

An important step towards preserving the cultural heritage in Lübeck: On the occasion of the 125th anniversary of Haus & Grund Lübeck, a donation check for over 10,000 euros was presented to the 7t towers+. This solemn moment took place in the Media Docks during the annual general meeting and gathered the key figures of the association and the foundation. Frank Schumacher, the CEO of Haus & Grund, Jens Becker, his deputy, and managing director Sascha Sebastian Färber handed over the check to Annegret Röther and Heike Schumacher, members of the foundation's board team, as well as to the project officer Heike Reimann.

The generous donation is the result of numerous events and fundraisers that were carried out under the motto "Help with Lübeck's cultural heritage" in the anniversary year 2024. A large number of exploratory tours through Lübeck's historical sites formed the framework for the commitment of Haus & Grund. "We have a responsibility for our cultural heritage," emphasized Färber, while Schumacher emphasized the importance of the seven towers that make Lübeck's formative cityscape. The 7t towers+ Foundation was grateful for the support that is to be used for the renovation of the city's landmarks.

commitment to Lübeck's future

Lübeck is not only a city full of history, it is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and should not be revealed to decay. The former Federal President has taken over the patronage of the 7t towers+, which underlines the importance of this Engagement. He emphasizes that responsibility for the cultural heritage is in the hands of individuals, foundations and political actors. This collective responsibility is a central aspect of a functioning democracy that wants to leave the tests of strength and will.

A look at Caspar David Friedrich

Exciting cultural events are also part of the famous painter Caspar David Friedrich in Lübeck. On the occasion of its 250th birthday, outstanding exhibitions are devoted to several cities, including Hamburg and Dresden. With "Das Arsmeer" (1823/24), the Hamburger Kunsthalle shows one of its key works, which is presented in the current exhibition "Art for a New Time". This representation of Friedrich's work enables a dialogical approach to contemporary positions and offers a fresh view of its art.

In the Pomeranian State Museum and the State Art Collections in Dresden, various aspects of his life and work are also highlighted. A special highlight is the joint acquisition of the "Karlsruhe sketchbook", which contains important study drawings by Friedrich and is therefore of high art historical relevance. Such projects not only contribute to the promotion of art, but also strengthen the cultural identity of the region.

in Lübeck, where the historical heritage and culture complement itself wonderfully, it is once again shown that committed citizens and institutions such as Haus & Grund Lübeck and the 7t towers Foundation set standards for a lively future in harmony with history.
