Zeitgeist means the “Spirit of Age”. Founded in 2014 by the Honorary Consuls of the Federal Republic of Germany to North Carolina, Klaus Becker (ret.) and Margaret Rosenfeld, the mission of the Foundation is to inform, educate and foster dialogue about the influence in North Carolina of the current and historic culture, arts, society and spirit of Germany. In recognition of the long-standing German-American bilateral relationship, the program of the Foundation focuses on the exchange of societal and governmental thought and theory, art exhibitions and cultural and social events.
