Bad Pyrmont: Political awakening for a cultural agenda in the city!

Something is happening in the area of ​​culture in Bad Pyrmont. Music director Arndt Jubal Mehring has expressed the desire for a “cultural agenda” to steer cultural developments in the city. He pointed out that culture should not be just a campaign issue; nevertheless, it is already politically relevant. The CDU has reacted: On Monday they invited people to an exchange about culture in order to further advance the topic. In this context, the council group “Intakt/Our City” under the leadership of Carolin Muschter submitted a proposal to set up a cultural agenda in order to specifically promote artistic development in Bad Pyrmont dewezet.de reported.

The idea of ​​a cultural agenda is based on setting clear priorities for cultural policy. In Bad Pyrmont, this could primarily have an impact on the funding of certain projects - such as the operation of the spa theater, the interior work of which is expected to last until 2026. A report on the future of the Kurtheater is expected in September, and it remains to be seen what role the theater will play in the city's future cultural landscape.

Pragmatic approaches to culture

The initiators of the cultural agenda emphasize that cultural projects are often expensive affairs that require subsidies. Anja Grages, the parliamentary group leader of the CDU, emphasized the cultural diversity and historical heritage of Bad Pyrmont. “We want to strengthen cultural offerings in the long term and provide new impetus for cross-generational cultural life,” she explained at the meeting. In this way, those responsible show that they have a good hand when it comes to cultural-political commitment.

A notable element of this initiative is the CDU's desire to make the exchange on culture cross-party. The applicants encourage an intergroup discussion in order to discuss the content and objectives of the cultural agenda together. The next step has been taken to get the discussion about Bad Pyrmont's cultural future in full swing radio-aktiv.de reported.

It is clear to everyone involved that various committees and groups must be involved in drawing up the cultural agenda. This is the only way to ensure that all voices are heard and that the city's artistic development is represented in a diverse manner. Bad Pyrmont is therefore faced with the challenge of taking the next decisive step in cultural policy. And one thing is certain – this is an exciting chapter that will leave you wanting more.
