Marion Ackermann has been appointed as the president of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (SPK), the largest cultural institution in Germany, following Hermann Parzinger's retirement. Her leadership comes during a period marked by significant reforms and increased government funding to address the foundation's challenges, including a substantial backlog of construction projects. Established in 1957, the SPK oversees various museums and collections in Berlin, and Ackermann aims to navigate ongoing projects such as the Pergamon Museum renovation and the new Berlin Modern, despite escalating costs and extended timelines.
Ackermann emphasizes the importance of addressing the backlog of construction projects at the SPK, which is crucial for the foundation's future and success.
Despite increased funding and reforms, Ackermann acknowledges that significant structural and operational challenges remain within the SPK, particularly concerning its construction projects.
