Regional culture projects are close to our heart
FUCHS SE sponsors projects promoting cultural diversity, particularly in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region.
Enjoy Jazz

The outstanding artists attract people from all over the world to Heidelberg and inspire the audience every year with their unique program. In addition to concerts, there are also courses and workshops, dance performances, discussions, lectures and artist talks.
Internationale Musiktage Dom zu Speyer
For more than three decades the series of events of the "Internationale Musiktage Dom zu Speyer" has been taking place. Classical and symphonic concerts, chamber music and sacred music with top-class international ensembles and interpreters delight the audience in the unique atmosphere of the Speyer Cathedral. It is the largest Romanesque church in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. FUCHS SE supports the Internationale Musiktage Dom zu Speyer and thus promotes the musical culture of the region.
Kunsthalle Mannheim
For more than 100 years, the "Kunsthalle Mannheim" has aroused understanding and enthusiasm for art. As early as 1909, the founding director Fritz Wichert positioned the hall of art as an open house of encounter and created a modern "hall of art for all". The Kunsthalle Mannheim is one of the most renowned collections of German and international art. In addition to regular special exhibitions, guided tours are offered and lectures and workshops are held. In June 2018, the Kunsthalle was reopened with its new building. The building is regarded as the largest new building of a German art museum. FUCHS SE has been supporting the work of the Kunsthalle in many ways for several years now.
Kurpfälzisches Kammerorchester
FUCHS SE sponsors the "Kurpfälzische Kammerorchester" that was once formed as the “Prince Elector Carl Theodor’s Orchestra of the Court”. In the 60 years of its existence the orchestra has developed into a firmly rooted cultural link for the people in the metropolitan region. Furthermore, the orchestra serves as a musical ambassador beyond state borders and has acquired a distinctive reputation as a professional ensemble.
Mannheimer Philharmoniker
The FUCHS SE supports the "Mannheimer Philharmoniker" in financing the musicians' places in the orchestra and thus makes a decisive contribution to the promotion of young talents. The orchestra was founded in 2009 by Boian Videnoff and quickly gained the attention of the international music scene through prominent concert series and tours through Europe, Russia and Asia. The ensemble is regarded as an international talent factory for musicians and enables outstanding young musicians to enter their professional careers.
