Paul und Mia Herzog-Stiftung

The Paul and Mia Herzog Foundation is a non-profit grant-making foundation established in 2003, located on the former company premises of Paul Herzog Steel and Metal Construction in Düsseldorf-Oberbilk. After the death of Maria Herzog in 2006, she transferred her entire private estate to the foundation, which has since supported local institutions in the fields of child, youth, and elderly care. The foundation selectively chooses projects and institutions in the Düsseldorf-Oberbilk district and funds initiatives that benefit children, young people, and the elderly. Among the supported projects are the Düsseldorf Youth Employment Assistance, social skills programs such as "Mut tut gut," support services for the elderly (Herzwerk), as well as educational and cultural projects at schools.

As a non-profit foundation, we aim to carry on the legacy of Paul and Mia Herzog by enabling long-term effective support for social cohesion in Düsseldorf-Oberbilk. Our goal is to empower children, youth, and the elderly, improve their quality of life, and open up new perspectives for them. We believe in the power of local networks and support institutions that sustainably promote education, participation, and integration.

The funding measures of the Paul and Mia Herzog Foundation are aimed at non-profit organizations in the Düsseldorf-Oberbilk district that support children, adolescents, as well as senior women and men. This includes schools and all-day programs with an intercultural focus, youth social work institutions, prevention programs, and projects addressing old-age poverty and loneliness. The goal is to promote social participation, educational opportunities, and intergenerational networking.
