The
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].
The Alfred Landecker Foundation pursues several key sustainability goals:
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.
