Stiftung Braunschweigischer Kulturbesitz

The SBK is responsible for organising regional cultural promotion for the State of Lower Saxony.

The foundation's assets amount to over 275 million euros and consist largely of real estates and financial deposits.

[2] The properties include, among others, cultural assets such as the Kaiserdom in Königslutter, a large number of monasteries and churches, more than 20 foundation and monastery estates with about 7,500 hectares of arable land as well as 5,500 hectares of forestry land and more than 3,000 hereditary building rights.

The City of Braunschweig plans to transfer part of the municipal real estate and land portfolio in Riddagshausen [de] to the SBK.

In June 2017, the Niedersächsischer Landesrechnungshof [de] criticised in its annual report "inappropriately high expenses" of the Foundation, its president and its Director in their representation and entertainment costs, business trips to other European countries as well as inappropriately large official cars.
