Art with resonance: 1,730 euros donated for Ritzebüttel Castle!

Things are lively in Cuxhaven, especially when it comes to the art scene. An impressive anniversary exhibition recently took place in honor of the talented artisan Solveg Börnsen. The exhibition entitled “Solveg Börnsen 1925-2021 – My life was rich, happy and protected” opened in the magnificent Ritzebüttel Castle and attracted a large number of art-loving visitors. The exhibition honored the remarkable work of the artist, who died in 2021 and was known as a versatile creator of ceramics, drawings and prints. Börnsen's memory also remains alive as she left unforgettable moments with her loved ones who miss her.

Five committed women – Dr. Carola Jahn-Schüssler, Anke Rösner, Claudia Domeyer, Erika Fischer and Karin Lüdke - resolved to preserve Börnsen's artistic heritage. They collected various works from the artist's estate as well as loans and personal items in order to focus on her personality and her work. The initiators want to show the diversity of Börnsen's work and her spirit, which, according to enthusiastic feedback from the guest book, was successful.

A gift for the city

The organizers not only showed great commitment, but were also able to make a significant financial contribution to the city of Cuxhaven. At a meeting in the town hall, to which the cultural office had invited, they handed over a donation check for 1,730 euros. The amount comes from the sale of Börnsen's graphics and pictures during the exhibition and is earmarked for Ritzebüttel Castle. Karin Lüdke emphatically pointed out that the donation should only be used for improvements, possibly even for new headsets for exhibitions.

The head of the Cuxhaven cultural department, Petra Wüst, praised the careful work of the initiators and emphasized the trusting cooperation with the cultural office. It is always remarkable how such cultural initiatives keep memories of talented artists alive. And the people of Cuxhaven also have reason to be happy: the city, which lies at the mouth of the Elbe and is known for its mild climate and diverse coastal landscapes, is attracting more and more visitors. Many of them come again and again to discover and enjoy the cultural diversity of the region.

The grief over their loss is palpable, and many people emphasize that the unforgettable moments they shared will remain in their hearts. During these times, Börnsen's memory will be honored and her artistic works will be treasured for a long time.
