The cultural foundation Schloss Wiepersdorf is a member of the Arbeitskreis Deutscher Internationaler Residenzprogramme (short: ADIR, i.e.: Working Group of German International Residency Programmes). More than 20 cultural institutions exchange ideas about the development of residency work in such areas as sustainability, families and partners, inclusion and international protection programmes. The Working Group coordinates matters relating to cultural policy and raises public awareness of the opportunities of artist-in-residence work.

A Flair of Vienna in the GDR

Barbe Maria Linke and Dietmar Linke, pastors and authors, met the Austrian couple Fred and Maxie Wander, both writers, in Wiepersdorf. The Wander couple had moved to the GDR (Kleinmachnow) in 1958.
