The Secretary of State for Culture, Mayer, announced the personal decision in the morning. Klaus Albrecht Schröder, who has been in office for 23 years, will no longer renew it in 2025.
Now comes the second blow. After the Secretary of State for Culture, Andrea Mayer, presented Jonathan Fine as KHM’s designated director general last week, the Greens politician now reveals on Wednesday who will succeed Klaus Albrecht Schröder at the head of the Albertina in 2025. The 67-year-old has been in charge of the museum since 2000 and has not run again. There were 20 applicants for the position – ten women and ten men each.
According to reports, three German art historians are among the favorites to run the renowned house. Accordingly, Oliver Kase, Deputy Director General of the Bavarian State Painting Collection, Nina Zimmer, Head of the Kunstmuseum Bern, and Ralph Gleis, Director of the National Gallery of the State Museums in Berlin, are in good shape.
