The "Vogel Stiftung Dr. Eckernkamp" supports the "Würzburg reads" initiative with a donation of 2,500 euros. This makes the Würzburg foundation the largest single financial supporter of this literature campaign.

"The Vogel Foundation is particularly pleased to support cultural projects related to reading and knowledge transfer - after all, our genes are rooted in a publishing house. Thanks to its outstanding commitment, the 'Würzburg liest' initiative has created a great literary event that promotes reading skills and the importance of literature, especially in times of digital transformation," announced Dr. Gunther Schunk, Chairman of the Foundation, at the cheque handover: "We are therefore very happy to support this outstanding reading and reading aloud event in our region and wish the organizers and all participants lots of fun and success."

The Vogel Foundation Dr. Eckernkamp was founded in 2000 by publisher Dr. Kurt Eckernkamp and his wife Nina Eckernkamp-Vogel. The foundation focuses its support on four fields: Education, science, medicine and culture. Special emphasis is placed on the promotion of research.
