Bank in Kenzingen promotes cinematic arts with a €2,000 financial backing for local cinema culture
In the picturesque town of Kenzingen, the "Kultur in Kenzingen - Cinema and More e.V." association has been leading the charge to revitalize the historic Lion-Light Cinema. This mission has recently received a significant boost, as Sparkasse Freiburg-Northern Breisgau, a local financial institution committed to cultural diversity and community engagement, has donated 2,000 euros to the association.
Founded in 2022, the "Kultur in Kenzingen - Cinema and More e.V." association has already made strides in organizing cultural events to breathe new life into the cinema location. The donation from Sparkasse Freiburg-Northern Breisgau is intended to support the association's efforts in preserving and enhancing the cultural diversity in the region.
Patricia Haras, Regional Market Leader for Endingen and Kenzigen, handed over the symbolic check to Benjamin Kleinstueck, a board member of the association. In a statement, Ms. Haras expressed Sparkasse Freiburg-Northern Breisgau's commitment to social responsibility and cultural initiatives in the region, considering its engagement in such initiatives as part of its duty.
The donation has had a profound impact on the association and the revitalization of the Lion-Light Cinema. Financially, it has provided crucial funding for renovation and preservation efforts, ensuring that the cultural heritage and architectural integrity of the cinema are maintained.
Moreover, the funding has enabled the association to expand its program of cultural events beyond just film screenings. The Lion-Light Cinema now hosts local theater productions, concerts, and community gatherings, making it a vibrant hub for residents and fostering a stronger sense of community identity and participation in cultural activities.
The support from Sparkasse Freiburg-Northern Breisgau has also bolstered the association's ability to engage with the local community more effectively. By improving the facilities and programming, the Lion-Light Cinema has become a focal point for residents, fostering a sense of shared experience and community spirit.
Looking to the future, the donation has helped stabilize the association's finances, making future projects and ongoing maintenance more feasible. This ensures that the Lion-Light Cinema can continue to operate sustainably and adapt to future cultural trends and needs.
In conclusion, Sparkasse Freiburg-Northern Breisgau's donation has been instrumental in not only preserving an important piece of Kenzingen's cultural history but also in transforming the Lion-Light Cinema into a dynamic cultural venue that supports the arts and community life in the region. The ongoing impact of this support cannot be overstated, as the cinema continues to thrive as a hub for film, culture, and community.
The donation from Sparkasse Freiburg-Northern Breisgau is not only supporting the preservation and enhancement of cultural diversity (entertainment) in the region but also contributes to the enrichment of the home-and-garden of Kenzingen, as the Lion-Light Cinema now hosts local theater productions and community gatherings. The association intends to utilize the funds to broaden their lifestyle offerings, including partnerships with local movie-and-tv productions to further engage the community.
