Friedensmal Foundation ... and a Circle of Peace

Chapter: Artist / The Foundation


Purpose and Bodies of the Friedensmal Foundation

The foundation supports the artistic project Friedensmal in Bensheim, South-Hesse. It is about more than the construction of a monument. It is about relationships, about shalom; for a good coexistence between people and for this as a prerequisite, peace within oneself.

The purpose of the foundation is in particular the promotion of art and culture,

  • which can bring into being the processes for the spiritual healing of man and society,

  • which stimulates and promotes peace and freedom in the relations between people and nations, and

  • which symbolizes and supports appreciative understanding between people and nations.

Friedensmal Foundation.


Chairmen of the Board


Thomas Zieringer

Thomas Zieringer, artist and president of the Friedensmal Foundation, established the Foundation and the Friedensmal itself. His work is an expression of a longing for peace and understanding. 'Whether it is about one's own past or the country's past: Feelings of shame and guilt that crush are not a healing response. There needs to be a real acceptance of responsibility that is positive and brings more peace to the world.' (Here you will find his personal story of how he found the vision of the Friedensmal and how it came into fruition).



Gunter von Stritzky

Gunter v. Stritzky, therapist and artist - author of the play "Thirty-three" and founder of the cultural network GG&G (Gemeinsam Gestalten und Genießen, English: Create and enjoy together).

Circle of Peace

The
Circle of Peace for Change - a circle of friends - supports the cause expressed with the Friedensmal.


Anton Euler, Pensioner (formerly working at the 'Blindenmission Foundation') - The idea of reconciliation appeals to me. For me, it means coming to terms with God and oneself in order to come to terms with one's neighbour. It means breaking down prejudices in order to come closer to each other, to be ready to listen and to accept the other as a human being.

Linde Weiland, former chairperson of the Jewish community of Fulda - The twenty years of chairing the community made me aware of the need to approach each other with tolerance.

Konrad Kaschek, Caretaker and Working Pensioner - I want to set positive signs and build a bridge between the past and the present. I am interested in contributing to the development of our civilisation. I want to help it to develop further in peace and freedom.
