Kulturloge Mittlere Nahe

The first Kulturloge in Rhineland-Palatinate was founded on January 9, 2013 in a network with the Lions Club, the Nahe Social Welfare Station, Aktion Füreinander, the Dr. Wolfgang and Anita Bürkle Foundation and the Soonwald Foundation "Help for Children in Need".

Since July 2019, the city of Bad Kreuznach and its cultural department have been additional partners. There are now other cultural lodges in Rhineland-Palatinate, but they are all urban and not located in the countryside.

KULTURLOGE Mittlere Nahe enables its members to take part in cultural events in their area. Anyone with a low income, such as welfare recipients, senior citizens on basic income support, single parents and families with small incomes, chronically mentally ill people in therapeutic residential groups and many others can take part. "We want to help people who are on the dark side of life," is the motto.

The Kulturloge Mittlere Nahe is a special feature for rural areas. The area now extends from Bad Kreuznach to Birkenfeld and from Meisenheim to Rhaunen and is constantly expanding. In 2025, a total of 581 registered participants from 52 organizations were given access to the region's cultural offerings with 515 tickets for 64 events. Last year, many tickets for concerts, museums, visits to the cinema and soccer matches were once again distributed. What pleased everyone involved was that the quality of the cultural offerings continued to rise.

The aim of the Kulturloge Mittlere Nahe is clear: it wants to enable even more people in the region to participate in cultural life, as many simply cannot afford "culture" and no longer know its value.

The cultural department of the city of Idar-Oberstein has been providing free tickets for its own cultural events to the Kulturloge for years.

Anyone wishing to take advantage of or support the Kulturloge's services should contact coordinator Ms. Isabell Müller, e-mail: info@soonwaldstiftung.de.
