About the KulturPass

The KulturPass is a programme from the German government for everyone celebrating their 18th birthday in 2023. They will receive a budget of 200 euros on their 18th birthday, which they can use for tickets, books, CDs, records and much more. This makes it much easier to experience culture locally. At the same time, on the part of the providers, this increases demand for their offers. 

Our goals:

  • Getting young people excited about local culture

  • Supporting the cultural sector

Cultural providers can register on the KulturPass platform, where they can offer their events and cultural products. All that is required for registration is an ELSTER certificate. This certificate serves as verification for the providers, who can then providet their offers on the virtual marketplace. The costs for the offers handed out  to the 18-year-olds are refunded afterwards.

For all 18-year-olds: 

 

Anyone living in Germany who will turn 18 in 2023 can register for the KulturPass. Verification in the registration process is provided by  electronic  ID. After that, a budget of 200 euros is made available which can be used for all KulturPass offers. These are, for example, tickets for concerts, theater performances, cinema visits, museum visits or parks, as well as books, records, sheet music or musical instruments. The chosen offer is reserved via the app and then picked up on site. 

Since June 14, it is possible for 18-year-olds to use the KulturPass.
