City's museum receives significant donation of 1.3 million euros from a group of benefactors in the local community

The city of Landshut has received a substantial boost in its efforts to expand the Stadtmuseum Landshut, with the Friends of the City Museum Landshut (FSL) association pledging a donation of 1.3 million euros for the second phase of the project.

The donation, signed by FSL Chairman Prof. Dr. Gernot Autenrieth and Mayor Alexander Putz at the town hall, is intended to help the city in its difficult financial situation and aims to specify and complete the plans for the second phase of the museum expansion.

Mayor Putz praised the donation, stating it is necessary for the continuation of the project and is an extraordinary achievement. He also expressed the city's commitment to strive for a "quick start" to construction as soon as the plans are finalized.

The FSL is aware of the city's financial struggles but hopes the important project can be realized as soon as possible. They see the project for cultural provision and the preservation of the city's rich cultural history as crucial. The renewed donation is intended to develop a comprehensive funding scenario for the second phase of the museum expansion.

The city has agreed to use the FSL's donation to reduce its own contribution for the continuation and/or construction of the second phase of the city museum. Mayor Putz sees the FSL's significant financial contribution as a moral obligation.

Despite efforts, the name of the donor who made the initial donation in the year [year] could not be found in the provided search results.

The FSL hopes the second phase of the city museum expansion can be realized as soon as possible, and they express their hope that the important project can be completed to ensure the preservation of Landshut's cultural heritage for future generations.
