History

The 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]

Courses

The Lindenberg also offers courses for students. Some courses include DJing, urban dance and comedy.[8] The Lindenberg also offers individual music lessons for music students.[9]

Valkhof Hall

Lindenberg has a large hall which can accommodate up to 1,200 people. The hall is host to lectures, weddings, meetings and workshops.[10]
