As you are probably aware, despite strong absolute and relative performance of
The New Germany Fund, Inc. for the last several years, the fund will have a
contested annual meeting. The opposition is being organized by a few hedge fund
operators led by Phillip Goldstein, who conducted an unsuccessful proxy contest
against the fund last year.

We are writing to ask for your support for the fund in light of its excellent
performance (301% through dividends and stock price appreciation between March
31, 2003 and March 31, 2006) and eminently qualified director nominees. We have
enclosed a proxy statement for our upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be
held on June 20, 2006 that highlights the nominees' qualifications to continue
to serve as directors of the fund and gives you further information about the
fund's performance over both the short and long terms.

We urge you to contact us directly at (212) 454-2123 or pattie.rosch@db.com or
(212) 454-2208 or jonathan.diorio@db.com to discuss the proxy statement or if
you have any questions at all about the fund. Alternatively, please feel free to
contact Paul Schulman at The Altman Group, who is assisting us with this proxy
solicitation, at (201) 806-2206 or pschulman@altmangroup.com

We thank you for your continued support for The New Germany Fund, Inc. and look
forward to speaking to you soon.

Sincerely,



Pattie Rosch                                   Jonathan Diorio
