The federal government is currently announcing one relief package after another: Next, people are to receive 200 euros from the state for their birthdays.

Berlin/Kassel – On Friday (November 11), the budget committee of the Bundestag approved the federal budget for 2023, in which around 750,000 people are to receive 200 euros from the state for their birthdays.

The idea is not new - and the implementation is still unclear.

200 euros for your birthday from the state: what the money is intended for

With a credit of 200 euros, the traffic light coalition of SPD, Greens and FDP wants to encourage young people to experience culture, following the example of other European countries, the federal government announced on Friday (November 11) in Berlin.

"We want to open the way to culture," said Minister of State for Culture Claudia Roth (Greens) at a press event.

"We want to get young people excited about the diversity of culture in our country."

The so-called "Culture Pass" should also support the cultural industry, which continues to suffer from the effects of Corona.

She is still struggling with a dramatic audience decline.

The assets are intended for cultural purposes, which include, according to Roth, for example:

  • Books

  • Visits to museums and exhibitions

  • cinema performances

  • concerts

  • theatrical performances

The federal government is providing 100 million euros for the pilot project.

That was decided by the Budget Committee of the German Bundestag.

The funds would come from the budget of the Minister of State for Culture and the Media.

Stiko boss Thomas Mertens sees the pandemic situation as over: The corona virus is now endemic, he says – but will remain with us for generations.

Cultural providers could register on the platform and offer concerts, theater and cinema performances there, for example.

Tickets for museums or exhibitions as well as books or vinyl records should also be part of the offer.

Registration is limited to local cultural providers.

Large sales platforms and online mail order companies are excluded.

The "Culture Pass" is scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2023.

If successful, the program could be opened up to young people aged 15 to 17 in a second step.
