Under the leadership of the Chair and the Co-CEOs, the team at the Alfred Landecker Foundation handles the implementation and monitoring of the grants.
The office of the Alfred Landecker Foundation is located in Berlin. Its activities extend beyond the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany into other European countries, the United States of America and Israel.
The purpose of the Alfred Landecker Foundation is to remember the Holocaust, fight group-based hatred with a focus on antisemitism and strengthen democracy.
This becomes all the more challenging in light of the tectonic shifts brought about by the digital revolution. In order to protect our democratic institutions, strengthen critical judgement and promote a culture of remembrance, the Alfred Landecker Foundation brings together and promotes a global network of academics and civil society.
A quick overview of how we fund and what projects we support.
Antisemitism and group-based hatred, as well as growing skepticism towards democratic institutions, threaten the future of our open society.
To counteract this, the Reimann family founded the Alfred Landecker Foundation, which they have endowed with 260 million euros.
The resurgence of populism and nationalism, including in Western democracies, is threatening our institutions from both outside and in. Hatred, prejudice, and indifference are only deepening rifts.
We firmly believe that all people have the right to live without fear and persecution and to prosper in an open society.
We want to help protect our freedoms by strengthening democratic processes and institutions.
The Reimann family wants to take the lessons learned from the collapse of European civilization under National Socialism and turn them into active engagement here and now.
