History
editThe Minister of Culture, Piet Engels opened the institution in 1972. Initially there were free academies, a music school and a public library. In the year 2000, the Lindenberg was suffering financially. The organization began to generate profits by raising prices for their clients, and eliminating some activities.[1]
The Lindenberg is now one of 30 Nijmegen cultural organizations to be awarded a government subsidy.[4] The Lindenberg also hosts exhibitions which commemorate the history of Nijmegen.[5][6]
In 2018, Teddy Vrijmoet became the director of the theatre. She replaced Ilse Verburgh, who left in 2017.[2][7]
