Manfred Vetter-Stiftung für Kunst und Kultur
About the funder
The Manfred Vetter Foundation for Art and Culture was established in spring 2001 by entrepreneur and art patron Manfred Vetter (1936–2014) as a non-profit, privately funded foundation. Its aim is to promote art, culture, music, and youth projects independently of public institutions. Since its inception, the foundation has supported exhibitions (including Otto Dill and Ulrich Rückriem), architectural monuments, concert series at Burg Langendorf, competitions such as "Jugend musiziert," as well as youth fire brigades (CTIF Cup, National Vetter Cup). Additionally, it supports publications, museum projects (Otto Dill Museum, Hubert Salentin Museum), and children’s and youth art laboratories.
