In response to significant protests, the Berlin coalition government has revised its plan to cut €130 million from the cultural budget for 2025. Key cuts to youth theaters and major institutions like the Deutsches Theater and Schaubühne are being reduced or eliminated. The decision follows an open letter from prominent Berlin publishers warning against the negative impact on the city’s cultural landscape. The revisions are set to be discussed in the main parliamentary committee next week and officially voted on December 19.
