Karl u. Charlotte Spohn Stiftung
About the funder
The Karl & Charlotte Spohn Foundation was established in 2006 by Karl Spohn (1913–2007) and his wife Charlotte Spohn (1907–2002). Karl Spohn, authorized officer at Berliner Bank and longtime columnist for the Berliner Tagesspiegel, wished to contribute to humanitarian causes based on his war experiences and at the same time honor the memory of his parents Emil and Margarethe Spohn. The foundation supports blind and deaf individuals residing in Berlin and Hamburg. In addition to a training scholarship for the blind and deaf, it funds individual projects, such as scientific publications and educational institutions like the Ernst-Adolf-Eschke School for the Deaf.
