Following a resolution passed by the German Parliament, the Bundestag, it receives funding from the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development.

The foundation is the body commissioning the construction of the Humboldt Forum, a unique cultural project, and will be the building's future owner.

This highly symbolic construction project, with its unique aim of bringing culture and academia into living discourse, is reliant on the active support of everyone who wants to make a lasting mark on this historic site.

Furthermore, the German Bundestag followed the commission's recommendation to rebuild the baroque façades on the north, west and south sides as well as in the Schlüterhof.

After the reconstruction of the Berlin Palace, the building complex is to house the future Humboldt Forum, which is scheduled to open in 2019.
