Welcome to Ludger Vollmer

"The City of Weimar thanks Ludger Vollmer, the passionate composer and musician, who works in his works for the reduction of prejudices against minorities and for cultural diversity.

(Certificate text for the award of the Weimar Prize 2014)

"Minutes of applause, hoots, whistles from an audience that could never have experienced anything like this before! That was the result of this almost three-hour performance ... it should ... point to ... a core area of our culture. " This is Ludger Vollmer with the help of many like-minded people succeeded. " Herrmann Habitz, Der Neue Merker, Vienna
