KIRCHHOFF Culture Life
A UNIQUE CULTURAL INITIATIVE
With KIRCHHOFF Culture Life, KIRCHHOFF Automotive launched a cultural initiative in 2017 that aims to contribute to the well-being of employees and their family members. In addition to promoting internal sports activities and supporting local sports clubs in the areas of basketball, ice hockey, and football, we regularly offer our employees and their families unique cultural events.
Never Seen Before
Not only within the company does the KIRCHHOFF Group break new ground with this diverse cultural program: never before and nowhere else has such an extensive and largely free cultural initiative been developed exclusively for the employees of a company.
Experience, Marvel, Feel Good, Participate
The various events strengthen the sense of community and create unique shared memories. All events are offered largely free of charge, and everyone is warmly welcome. At KIRCHHOFF Culture Life events, participants can not only try and experience new things, but also get to know colleagues better.
We want to bring people closer to the diverse facets of culture. The goal is to overcome inhibitions and prejudices, be open to the unknown, or sometimes even be brave. This is also an important and valuable experience in how we interact with one another.
In addition to individual events, our cultural afternoon “Culture Attack” is a permanent part of KIRCHHOFF Culture Life. This event afternoon has taken on a special dimension: with an incredibly diverse program, “Culture Attack” is now on a world tour and is inspiring more and more employees.
Culture is broadly defined for us
KIRCHHOFF Culture Life offers a wide range of cultural events and interactive activities – from music to exhibitions to competitions. All events are accompanied by professional artists..
Prof. Thomas Kirchhoff is responsible for the program design and organization of the cultural activities and events. He taught one of Europe’s most successful guitar classes at the Detmold University of Music and performs worldwide with the Amadeus Guitar Duo.
Thanks to his global network in the cultural scene, Prof. Thomas Kirchhoff has succeeded in making the KIRCHHOFF Culture Life initiative not only highly interesting, but also first-class by international standards.
"In our corporate values it is clearly anchored that we actively promote the health and satisfaction of our employees. That's why we have launched health initiatives, encouraged sporting activities, organized family events and launched the work-life-balance program. KIRCHHOFF Culture Life is to become a firm component of this."
J. Wolfgang Kirchhoff,
Chairman of the Board and CEO of KIRCHHOFF Automotive
"We have created KIRCHHOFF Culture Life because we want to create an atmosphere of well-being for our employees and their families. The cultural events of a special kind should bring us together and be experiences that we like to tell others about."

The person responsible for the program design and organization of cultural initiatives and events is Prof. Thomas F. Kirchhoff, cousin of Wolfgang J. Kirchhoff. At the request of the management of KIRCHHOFF Automotive, he continues to uphold the corporate value “cultural responsibility”. For him, it is a project close to his heart: “Art and culture connect people within the company.”
