Landschaftsverband Südniedersachsen

The Landschaftsverband Südniedersachsen is a registered association (eingetragener Verein) based in Göttingen, Lower Saxony, Germany, founded in 1989. It is one of the Landschaftsverbände in Lower Saxony, a category of regional cultural bodies. Its working area covers the districts of Northeim, Göttingen and Holzminden, as well as the towns of Seesen and Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Goslar district and the town of Alfeld in the Hildesheim district. The association's core purpose is to promote and develop cultural life in Southern Lower Saxony. It does this through services such as advice on the planning of cultural projects, the awarding of grants, and its own projects. It is financed by a regular donation from VGH Versicherungen, by the State of Lower Saxony, and by membership contributions. Since 2016 the Landschaftsverband has also taken on the tasks of the Museumsverbund Südniedersachsen e.V., which was dissolved at the end of 2015. All museums located within the association's area can seek advice from it, a service it has offered since 2016. Twenty-two museums and museum associations are members of the Landschaftsverband, and a working group, the 'AG Museen', has 60 members. An overview of grants awarded in 2022 is available on the association's website, with earlier years documented in its annual reports. The association also engages in continuing education and heritage work, as reflected in its current announcements, which include training series for cultural practitioners on photography, copyright and image rights, and funding applications, as well as a job advertisement for a coordination office for emergency networks and a cooperation exhibition titled 'Nachgefragt' opened at Forum Wissen.

The Landschaftsverband Südniedersachsen was founded in 1989 as a registered association (eingetragener Verein) in Lower Saxony, Germany. It belongs to the category of Landschaftsverbände in Lower Saxony, regional bodies with cultural and heritage responsibilities. Its seat is in Göttingen, and its working area covers the districts of Northeim, Göttingen and Holzminden, as well as the towns of Seesen and Clausthal-Zellerfeld in the Goslar district and the town of Alfeld in the Hildesheim district. From its founding, the association has focused on promoting and developing cultural life in Southern Lower Saxony. Its activities include advising on the planning of cultural projects, awarding grants, and carrying out its own projects. It is financed through a regular donation from VGH Versicherungen, funds from the State of Lower Saxony, and membership contributions. A significant development occurred at the end of 2015, when the Museumsverbund Südniedersachsen e.V. was dissolved. Since 2016, the Landschaftsverband has taken over the tasks of that museum network. As a result, all museums located within the association's area can seek advice from it, a service it has offered since 2016. Twenty-two museums and museum associations are members of the Landschaftsverband, and a working group, the 'AG Museen', has 60 members. An overview of grants awarded in 2022 is published on the association's website, while earlier years are documented in its annual reports. In recent years the association has continued its cultural work through continuing education programmes and exhibitions. Its current announcements include a continuing education series for cultural practitioners on photography, copyright and image rights, and funding applications; a job advertisement for a coordination office for emergency networks; continuing education in heritage work; and a cooperation exhibition titled 'Nachgefragt' opened at Forum Wissen.
