Involvement
With the Förderkreis Deichtorhallen Hamburg and the Freundeskreis des Hauses der Photographie, the Deichtorhallen have two non-profit associations that are passionately committed to and support the institution. Curated programs tailored to the respective profile of the two associations range from exclusive exhibition previews and studio visits to art trips, thematic excursions and personal encounters with artists.
For the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, sponsorships and corporate partnerships are an indispensable part of realizing innovative exhibitions, promoting cultural education and sustainably strengthening the dialogue between art, society and business. We are happy to create individual services for sponsors that are precisely tailored to their business and philanthropic goals.

The group, which was founded in the summer of 2011, has played a major role in establishing the Deichtorhallen as a pioneering venue for contemporary art and photography in Hamburg and beyond. Its support ensures that the Deichtorhallen will remain an important destination for international art and photography.

Hapag-Lloyd Stiftung
»The artistic and conceptual orientation of the Deichtorhallen is as innovative and international as we ourselves are. This is a good reason for an intensive, friendly and, in the best sense, "conducive" cooperation. Just as we transport goods between the continents across the oceans and are thus an engine of world trade, Deichtorhallen is an engine of inspiration, creativity and art appreciation. Moreover, Hapag-Lloyd and the Deichtorhallen are true and proud Hamburgers with a great closeness to the Elbe and the port. We are looking forward to and about this wonderful partnership.«

Managing Director

WhiteWall
»WhiteWall is the laboratory trusted by exhibition venues, galleries, artists, as well as professional and amateur photographers alike. Thanks to our high-quality development and finishing techniques, we turn photographs into unique artworks such as photographic prints, laminations, and gallery-quality frames. This quality is also reflected in our partnerships. We are clearly connected to the Deichtorhallen Hamburg and the House of Photography by our focus on photography, which is the pillar of our partnership.«

Körber AG
»Giving something back to society. This was not only a matter close to the heart of our founder Kurt A. Körber, but is also firmly anchored as an area of action in our sustainability strategy and the activities that go with it. The Klub der Künste provides young people with guidance in finding a career in the artistic and creative fields - a sustainable promotion that we would like to support with our sponsorship. We look forward to valuable impetus from this partnership, with which we add another facet to the long-standing bond between Deichtorhallen and Körber.«
