Braunschweig mourns Alexander: fundraising campaign started for the family!

On May 26, 2025, a tragic incident occurred in Braunschweig when 39-year-old Alexander suddenly died during night running training at Wenden Elementary School. The loss not only affects his wife Franziska, but also the three small children (7, 4 and 9 months old), who now have to cope without their cheerful and caring dad. This unexpected death came as a slap in the face to family, friends and relatives and leaves a deep void in their lives.

To support the family during this difficult time, a fundraising campaign was launched on the “gofundme” platform. The aim is to relieve the family's financial burden, as in addition to the grief they are also struggling with significant financial challenges. By June 24, 2025, over 30,000 euros had already been collected, with a total goal of 60,000 euros. Every contribution plays an important role and helps to alleviate the worries of those left behind. The call for support was shared by many, showing how compassionate the community is.

A life full of joy

Alexander was not only a loving family man, but also a warm person who always made those around him happy with a smile. His sudden absence shocked everyone who knew him. There was no opportunity to say goodbye in person, which added to the pain for those left behind.

In order to offer those affected support and help during this difficult time, it is important to know that grief counseling services are available. Information about this can be found at the Maltese, among others. It also points out that there are numerous offers that can help the bereaved in their grief. This can take the form of conversations or support groups that can provide comfort and companionship. If you are interested, you can find further information at Maltese help.

The community’s thoughts and prayers are with the family during this emotional time. It is hoped that the fundraiser not only provides financial support, but also shows how much Alexander was valued and that people are willing to support each other.

For the family, every contribution means not only material but also emotional support on the difficult journey of dealing with grief.
