The New Germany Fund, Inc. Makes Announcement

The New Germany Fund, Inc. (GF) announced that its
adjourned 2005 annual stockholders meeting was again adjourned today
in order to confirm a quorum. The meeting will reconvene at 5:00 PM
today, June 22, 2005 at 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY. Based on the
preliminary advice of the Fund's proxy solicitor, it was believed a
quorum has been attained. However, in order to determine finally the
presence of a quorum the meeting was again adjourned.
   The New Germany Fund, Inc. is a non-diversified, closed-end
investment company seeking capital appreciation primarily through
investment in the Mittelstand - an important group of small and
mid-cap German companies. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets
in large cap German companies, and up to 20% in other Western European
companies. Its shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under
the symbol "GF".
   The Fund is not diversified and may focus its investments in
certain geographic regions, thereby increasing its vulnerability to
developments in that region. Investing in foreign securities presents
certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as
currency fluctuation, political and economic change, and market risks.
This may result in greater share price volatility.
   Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a discount to net
asset value. The price of the Fund's shares is determined by a number
of factors, several of which are beyond the control of the Fund.
Therefore, the Fund cannot predict whether its shares will trade at,
below or above net asset value. (06/05 39105)
