Stiftung Pfefferwerk
About the funder
The Pfefferwerk Foundation was established in 1999 and officially recognized as a legal foundation under civil law in May 2000. The founding asset is the Pfefferberg property in the Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg; the lease income from the former brewery forms the essential financial basis. Income is supplemented by third-party funds and donations (no donor provides more than 10% of the funds). On this basis, the foundation implements its own projects and supports initiatives of other non-profit organizations in the fields of vocational education, community work, monument preservation, environmental protection, culture, and international understanding.
