Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: 1.5 million euros for cultural projects in three regions!

Ludwigslust-Parchim, Deutschland - Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania draws attention to itself with significant promotion of cultural projects. A total of three rural regions of the federal state can look forward to 1.5 million euros each, which are provided as part of the "Aller.Land" federal program. This was announced on June 23, 2025 by the Ministry of Science in Schwerin. The funded counties, Mecklenburg Seenplatte, Northwest Mecklenburg and Vorpommern-Greifswald, will make an important contribution to cultural development in rural areas with their projects.

The grants are planned for the term from 2025 to 2030 and are also supported with ten percent in state and local funds. Minister of Culture Bettina Martin described these measures as great success, which will significantly enrich the cultural landscape in rural areas. With the aim of supporting artistic projects and strengthening citizen participation, the activities in the Mecklenburg Lake District are organized, for example, under the motto "Culture for everyone in Dreistrom.land".

innovation and participation

What happens in Northwest Mecklenburg, where the Gadebusch Future Castle is to be expanded under the motto "limitless"? Here the initiators have proven a good hand to include the citizens of cultural activities. There are also big plans in Vorpommern-Greifswald: young people should develop and shape their own ideas for the region under the motto "Youth involved". This not only promotes culture, but also the creativity of the young generation.

The cornerstones of the cultural project funding in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania were already introduced in 2018 under relieved conditions. At that time, the course was set to facilitate access to funding, which was further intensified with the new cultural support directive 2023. For example, cultural projects that are funded with state funds can now receive up to 50,000 euros, whereby special proceeding releases apply regardless of the amount of funding. Cultural workers find the exact conditions in the cultural support directive.

A central element of the "Aller.Land" program, which was launched in 2023, lies in strengthening culture and participation in social life in rural areas. Over 97 regions had the opportunity to take part in the first phase of the program in 2024, with each region receiving 40,000 euros to develop sustainable concepts. In the first half of 2025, another 30 regions were selected to try out their ideas by mid -2030 and put it into practice. This testifies to a broad and sustainable focus on active cooperation.

The program partners, including the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media, and various ministries, are committed to promoting cultural development in structural -weak rural regions. The support is rounded off by the new financial regulations, which not only give innovative projects but also ongoing expenses.

Overall, the commitment to culture in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and especially in rural areas in the upswing. Here are the course for a creative future, which both fostered and gives room for new ideas.
