The article focuses on the uses of a cultural ministry by German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. The office of culture minister in Germany was responsible in supporting cultural revitalization in the former German Democratic Republic, enhancing the German film and publishing industries and promoting tax relief for foreign artists working in Germany and for German philanthropic foundations. Kulturation refers to the cultural unity of the German people. The promotion of culture is a central responsibility of democratic society, a preventive security policy and an investment in the future. Schröder suggested that the new culture policy will show the self-confidence of a mature nation that is neither superior nor inferior to any other.
