Veritas Park in Wittenberge is receiving federal funding of 2.767 million euros for renovation work and the expansion of various facilities. The former industrial site is to become a center of attraction for art, science and business in the region.
Wittenberge - The Veritas Park industrial park in Wittenberge is to receive federal funding of 2.767 million euros. The Budget Committee of the German Bundestag has approved these funds from the 'Investive Cultural Measures in Germany' program - KulturInvest for short.
Veritas Park, a former branch plant of the sewing machine manufacturer Singer covering an area of around 160,000 square meters, is currently being revitalized. The goal is to make the site a center of attraction for art, science and business in the region. The approved funds will allow renovation work to begin on various buildings on the site. The clock tower, the site's prominent landmark, will be renovated, and the museum concept will be expanded in cooperation with the town of Wittenberge. Former factory kitchens and the old powerhouse will serve as venues for exhibitions, lectures and cultural events in the future. A museum for photography will also be created. The combination of industrial aesthetics and historical charm should make Veritas Park an interesting backdrop for film and photography projects.
The area, which is located at the interface between Berlin and Hamburg, fell into disrepair for many years. My team and I would like to change this and make Veritas Park an example for the region.

A total of 76 projects are being funded with 300 million euros. Besides Veritas Park, only one other project in Brandenburg is receiving support. Veritas Park's application was supported by the Brandenburg State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments and the State Archaeological Museum.
