'Lebendige Stadt' Foundation
Since the year 2000, the "Lebendige Stadt" Foundation has been successfully working for the future of our cities under the Initiator Alexander Otto. The aim is to preserve the urban diversity of city centers as places where people work, as places where people have their home and as places of cultural activity. The work of the Foundation is focused on illumination concepts, green areas and the creation and design of urban spaces. Since it was founded, it has moved a funding volume of €35 million, supported 140 projects and awarded 164 prizes.
Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees decides on the ways in which the Foundation’s funds are utilised and monitors the work of the Executive Committee. It confirms changes on the Executive Committee and approves the budget.
