SHARED H ERItAGE
Since 2006 A. Lange & Söhne has been a business partner
of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden. At the end
of 2009 our sponsorship agreement was extended for a
further two years.
With numerous ambitious projects, the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen
Dresden, which can look back on a resplendent
450-year history, constitute one of the most dynamic
museum institutions in Germany. With top-quality exhibitions
both in Germany and abroad, they assume the important
task of mediating in inter-cultural dialogue. For
A. Lange & Söhne, a company which is active on the international
market and has its roots in Saxony, they have
turned out to be an extremely attractive communication
platform.
The company has therefore decided to continue this successful
collaboration. Especially at a time in which both
business and culture face major challenges, it is important
to promote developments which provide impulses for the
future. Shared values form the strong foundation of this
partnership, which was a success from the very outset. The
Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden and A. Lange &
Söhne are united not only by their international presence
but also by a common striving for the constant further
development of deeply-rooted traditions in order to help
shape the future.

We are therefore pleased to be able to contribute to the
realisation of the forthcoming exhibition and museum
projects by renewing our cooperation agreement.
Through its engagement in the cultural sphere, A. Lange
& Söhne is taking on social responsibility and fostering
cooperation between business and culture. What all these
sponsorship projects have in common is that they not only
preserve tradition but also produce new ideas. As well as
sponsoring the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen
Dresden, A. Lange & Söhne also supports the Salzburg
Whitsuntide Festival.
