Mourning for a tireless supporter of the arts. Elke Paulus loved fine art, especially operas and classical music.

She had around 100 different interpretations of Vivaldi's “Four Seasons” on CD. Together with her husband she went on boat trips to East Asia, the Amazon and the Arctic. A number of large events such as ‘Puchheim Lives’ or the ‘Kulturale’ would have been unthinkable without Elke. When she received the Citizen's Silver Medal in 2020, it was her second time - she had also received this award in Pforzheim.
