Others

The first of the two lions in the Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau World Heritage Site

From its founding in May 2004 to November 2010, Helma Orosz was chairwoman of the Förderverein Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau e. V. Under her leadership, the association has collected over 100,000 euros for the restoration of the two lion sculptures in front of the New Palace in Muskauer Park , the only Saxon world heritage site. The first of the lions cast in Lauchhammer was erected on August 14, 2009, and the second followed on April 1, 2010.

On December 3, 2009, Helma Orosz enforced the ban on the painting “ Ms. Orosz advertises the world heritage ” by the Dresden painter Erika Lust before the Dresden Regional Court . The court ruled in an urgent procedure that the picture violated Ms. Orosz's personal rights. On April 16, 2010, the Dresden Higher Regional Court lifted the ban, as the judges believed that the painting was “a portrait of contemporary history and a satirical representation”. The plaintiff's personal rights have to subordinate themselves to the defendant's freedom of expression and artistic freedom . (Ref .: 4 U 127/10). No further legal action was possible against the judgment. Since Helma Orosz rejected a lawsuit at the Federal Constitutional Court , the proceedings were concluded.

Orosz is divorced, has a daughter and two grandchildren. She lives in the Loschwitz district of Dresden .
