Board of Trustees
This committee acts entirely in the spirit of the Latin verb curare: to care for and
nurture. Under the patronage of H.R.H. Michael Herzog von Württemberg, it actively
supports the sponsoring association of the Ludwigsburg Festival. On the one hand, the
circle of curators includes ambassadors, such as representatives from the fields of
culture and politics, who open doors and facilitate new contacts with idealistic and
financial supporters. On the other hand, they include art patrons who promote and make
projects possible with their annual financial contributions. The members of the Board of
Trustees support the Ludwigsburg Festival with generous donations, thus making a
significant contribution to the realization of new ideas and visions. Together they are
promoters, central impulse givers and prominent multipliers for the goals of a festival
of the arts, democracy and sustainability.
