Can 18-year-olds also buy books by Precht with the "culture pass"?

As luck would have it, on November 11th, the beginning of the foolish season, the budget committee of the Bundestag approved 100 million euros for the year 2023 at the request of the Minister of State for Culture, Claudia Roth, from the Greens, in order to finance a “culture pass” that would benefit everyone 18-year-olds should be able to buy books or visit cinemas, exhibitions or music events. A kind of birthday present, regardless of the income of the parents, origin, level of education or cultural preferences of the recipient, 200 euros per person.

In order to be able to properly appreciate the measure, one has to do the math. According to the German Cultural Council, which represents 259 federal cultural associations, 685,795 children were born in Germany in 2005 "who will turn 18 next year". In addition, there are a number of "young people from all over the world" of the same age group who "moved to the country", which results in "estimated ... more than 700,000 young adults" who could be "potential beneficiaries of the culture pass in the coming year".
