Cultural Affairs Minister Weimer is planning to increase funding for memorial sites by ten million euros. This was announced in a report by Monopol and Tagesspiegel and is intended primarily to serve historical education.

The additional funds will be provided for security reasons, in order to keep the memory of the Nazi past and the GDR dictatorship alive. This underscores the importance of historical sites for education.
