Kulturstiftung Schloss Wiepersdorf

The Kulturstiftung Schloss Wiepersdorf, founded in July 2019 by the state of Brandenburg, is a public-law organization dedicated to the care of art, culture, and science. Based in Wiepersdorf, southeast of Jüterbog in the state of Brandenburg, the foundation builds on a rich historical tradition closely associated with the poet couple Achim von Arnim and Bettina von Arnim.
