For a Tolerant and Cosmopolitan Society

Article 1 of the German Basic Law: Human dignity is inviolable

Balloons with drawings and wishes from the children of the Krokoseum are released in front of the façade of the Historic Orphanage.

In the tradition of August Hermann Francke, we are committed to humanity and also stand up for all those who need our help. We see education, social participation and sustainable action as the most important keys to a tolerant and cosmopolitan society.
