The association Licht-Kunst-Speicherstadt e. V. was and is the driving force behind the realisation of the illuminated Speicherstadt. It was founded in September 2000 by committed companies and private individuals in a joint initiative with the Senate.
The illuminated Speicherstadt was financed by membership fees, monetary donations, bridge sponsorships and donations in kind.
The purpose of the association is the promotion of art and culture. It promotes the listed character of the Speicherstadt, making the public aware of it and making it accessible.
The Licht-Kunst-Speicherstadt e. V. association has its registered office in 20457 Hamburg, Bei St. Annen 1 and is entered in the Hamburg register of associations as a non-profit association.
The association meets regularly to promote the further expansion of the lighting project. The work of the association is coordinated by a board of directors and carried out by an executive director.
