Udo Lindenberg-Stiftung
About the funder
The Udo Lindenberg Foundation was established in 2006 in Calw, the birthplace of Hermann Hesse, by the artist Udo Lindenberg. Under the umbrella of the "Foundation for the Region – Sparkasse Pforzheim Calw," it is committed to social and humanitarian projects worldwide. Its focus lies on educational and water projects in Africa, the Panikpreis song competition for young musicians and lyricists, as well as the program "Hinterm Horizont macht Schule," which imparts awareness of German-German history. The foundation combines cultural work with sustainable development cooperation and advocates for tolerance, understanding of democracy, and global justice.
