Since April 2014 and with the start of the exhibition "Platz da! Kinder machen Stadt" (2014-2017) the actress Ulrike Folkerts, known as "Tatort" commissioner Lena Odenthal, is involved with a permanent museum sponsorship for the Kindermuseum in Berlin-Wedding. In the past she was already the umbrella woman of the world culture exhibition "Ganz weit weg - und doch so nah" (2006-2007 and 2012-2014). She is very familiar with the work, philosophy and aims of the museum.

Ulrike Folkerts on her commitment:

"For me there are several good reasons to be a godmother of the Labyrinth Children's Museum:

- I have been following the work of the museum for many years and I am impressed by the dedication and dedication with which diverse, imaginative exhibitions intended for children are created.

- A "WONDERORT for children", where young people have the chance to learn something for life by trial and error.

- I used to climb trees. The Labyrinth Children's Museum is at least as challenging for its young visitors.

Thanks to the team at the Children's Museum for choosing me as your godmother. Respect for your creative and committed ideas and your commitment to society. I wish you another successful exhibition and the generous support of small and big sponsors"!
