The Humanistische Vereinigung (HV) is a state-recognized secular community and corporation under public law with headquarters in Nuremberg, existing since 1848. It is committed throughout Germany and internationally to people who want to live their lives free from religious ties and according to humanist values [3][5].
Core Mission and Values
The HV bases its work on the fundamental values of secular humanism: freedom, compassion, and education for all. It is committed to a diverse, tolerant society in which people of different worldviews can live together respectfully. It promotes reason, self-determination, and social justice and accompanies people through all phases of life by helping them to give meaning and individual values to their lives [3][5].
Services and Offers
The HV's wide range of services includes social, educational and cultural services. These include daycare centers, a primary school, therapeutic youth facilities, counseling and pastoral care services, as well as study centers and student residences. The HV also conducts secular celebrations - from naming ceremonies, youth and wedding celebrations to humanist end-of-life care. In this way, it creates places of values education and social cohesion [3].
Political and Social Engagement
The HV actively participates in socio-political debates and is committed to anti-discrimination, the recognition of human rights and the strengthening of self-determination. Among other things, it is committed to the rights of LGTBQ+ people, to an open society and against religiously motivated restrictions in the public service. It also participates in international cooperations such as Humanists International and supports projects worldwide, such as the promotion of critical thinking in schools [1][3].
Sustainability and Social Initiatives
Sustainable development is lived in the social sector at the HV: children's and youth facilities playfully promote social and ecological values, for example through projects to promote exercise and inclusion. The association uses fundraising campaigns to continuously improve its services - for example, donations were collected for new playground equipment in a daycare center. The promotion of social justice and education is an integral part of the HV's sustainability work, with the aim of strengthening self-determined and supportive communities in the long term [3].
Summary
The Humanistische Vereinigung is a dynamic organization steeped in tradition that combines humanist values in education, social institutions and socio-political engagement. With a diverse range of services from early childhood education to end-of-life care and a strong commitment to human rights and social participation, it has a significant impact on the humanist scene in Germany and beyond.
