Funding activities
church
"Church" is the third area that is the focus of the Berthold Leibinger Stiftung's funding activities. Berthold Leibinger, who was close to the Württemberg regional church, was concerned on the one hand with the preservation and structural improvement of churches, and on the other with the preservation of the interior of sacred buildings - in particular the restoration of organs.
Funded lighthouse projects
Numerous projects have been realized throughout Germany in recent years with the financial support of the foundation.
The renovation of Stuttgart's collegiate church (1999-2003) was certainly of particular importance: During the renovation work on the "Bishop's Church" of the Evangelical Church in Württemberg, numerous archaeological features were uncovered which provided new insights into both the dating of the building and the settlement history of Stuttgart.
In addition, the grave of the Württemberg reformer Johannes Brenz was found, documented and researched during the work.
Diaconal church and historic organs funding lines
We support the work of Diakonie by funding conversion measures and equipment in existing church buildings for the purpose of participation and inclusion of people on the margins of society.
With our Diaconal Church funding line, we want to make a specific contribution to enabling churches to open up more into the social space.
Last but not least, this also creates a transition to our fourth pillar in our promotional activities, the area of social affairs.
We are also committed to the heritage of church music and therefore support the preservation of historically significant organs in Württemberg through our Historic Organs funding line.
