German term
IanW (X)
Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft
German to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
This is from an article about a certain region in Germany. It refers to music, theatre, media etc.
The heading of the piece is "Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft" and the term is also used in a sentence: "Region XYZ gilt heute innerhalb Deutschlands als bedeutender Standort der Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft mit wachsenden Beschäftigungszahlen."
Any ideas for "Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft"? My working translation is "cultural and creative industries", but I'm not very happy with it.
Many thanks
Ian

Sorry, should have been "cultural" instead of "culture"

: We just don't say that in English. "Wirtschaft" here means "industry" or "business", not "economy".

: I think "economy" works just fine in this context. There are plenty of hits on Google for this usage in this type of context as well.

Richard Benham
: This is fine, but I would put a hyphen after "culture" to show that it is related to "-based business". Otherwise it would be two things (1) culture, and (2) creativity-based business.

Richard, I am not sure, it is about economic activity ofa cultural nature. The text says, the region is known for music, theatre, etc. and that is what "cultural development" is about. Do you still have reservation about my suggestion Richard?

cultural and creative sectors
is a good choice, since it includes businesses and freelancers ( and probably also public institutions)
Anyway this is one definition:
"Zur Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft gehören alle Wirtschaftsbetriebe und Selbständigen, die für die Vorbereitung, Schaffung, Erhaltung und Sicherung von künstlerischer Produktion, Kulturvermittlung und/oder medialer Verbreitung Leistungen erbringen oder dafür Produkte erstellen oder veräußern.
Teilmärkte der Kultur- und Kreativwirtschaft sind:
- die Musikwirtschaft
- der Literatur-, Buch- und Pressemarkt
- die Film-, Rundfunk- und Fernsehwirtschaft
- der Theatermarkt (Darstellende und Unterhaltungskunst) und
- der Kunstmarkt, mit den ergänzenden Branchen Mode, Werbung und Design"
