Alfred Landecker Foundation

The Alfred Landecker Foundation is a legally capable public foundation under civil law, founded in 2019 by the Reimann family. The foundation is based in Ludwigshafen am Rhein and has an office in Berlin.

The main mission of the Alfred Landecker Foundation is to remember the Holocaust, combat group-related hatred, especially antisemitism, and promote the strengthening of democratic institutions and processes. The foundation advocates for the right of all people to live without fear, persecution, and suffering[4][5].

• Remembrance and Education: The foundation works to preserve the memory of Alfred Landecker and the victims of the Holocaust and to raise awareness of the history of National Socialism.
• Combating Hatred: With a focus on antisemitism, the foundation is committed to fighting group-related hatred and promoting tolerance and understanding.
• Promoting Democracy: The foundation aims to strengthen democratic processes and institutions and to reduce skepticism towards democratic institutions[4][5].

The Alfred Landecker Foundation pursues several key sustainability goals:

• Creating a Fair Society: The foundation advocates for equal and fair living conditions for all individuals regardless of gender, skin color, religion, physical or mental abilities, or sexual orientation[1].
• Conveying Knowledge: By promoting democratic awareness and understanding of political issues, the foundation aims to strengthen political participation among the population[1].
• Combating Nationalism and Populism: The foundation is committed to fighting the resurgence of nationalism and populism that threaten democratic institutions[4].

The foundation is named after Alfred Landecker, a victim of the Holocaust. Alfred Landecker, a World War I veteran and father of three children, was deported by the Gestapo in 1942 and disappeared in the extermination camps. The Reimann family, which founded the foundation, is connected to the Landecker family through a complex and contrasting history, as a family member of the Reimanns, Albert Reimann Junior, had a relationship with Emilie Landecker despite his antisemitic and National Socialist beliefs[3][4].

The Alfred Landecker Foundation was endowed with 260 million euros by the Reimann family. The foundation is led by Prof. Dr. Dr. hc Dan Diner as chairman of the board and the managing directors Lena Altman and Silke Mülherr[2][4].

Through its work and initiatives, the Alfred Landecker Foundation makes an important contribution to securing a democratic and open society in which all people can live in dignity and without fear.
