Martha Stiftung - STZ Hamburg

The Martha Stiftung is a social enterprise steeped in tradition with Christian-diaconal roots, active in Hamburg since 1849. Founded by the Hamburg merchant widow Wilhelmine Mutzenbecher to protect young, destitute girls from destitution, the foundation has developed over the years into one of the largest social enterprises in the Hanseatic city.

• Senior Citizens & Care: The foundation offers tailored care services, serviced apartments, senior apartments and specialized dementia shared apartments.
• Addictions: The SuchtTherapieZentrum Hamburg (STZ) offers comprehensive advice and therapy services.
• People with Disabilities: The Erlenbusch is a home for people with complex impairments, promoting participation and inclusion.

The Martha Stiftung stands for diversity and inclusion and is convinced that a society is necessary for all people. It is tirelessly committed to people who need support and remains true to its uncompromising attitude and value orientation.

Although specific sustainability goals are not explicitly mentioned, the foundation demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainable social development through its long-term commitment to social issues and its continuous adaptation to societal challenges. The foundation attaches great importance to data protection and data security, which is an important aspect of its sustainability.

In 2024, the Martha Stiftung celebrates its 175th anniversary. With 32 locations and around 1,000 employees, it remains an important part of Hamburg's social landscape. The foundation regularly invites people to events to bring its offers and facilities closer to the public.
