Lübeck church towers in need: 7Türme+ Foundation starts rescue mission!

There is fresh news from the world of foundations in Lübeck: The “7Türme+” foundation has now officially started its work. The aim of the new commitment is to preserve the impressive church towers that shape the cityscape of this Hanseatic city. This is reported by NDR. What the people of Lübeck love are their churches - and this lays the foundation for a future-oriented initiative.

The initiative has its origins in the Lübeck-Lauenburg church district, which played a key role in the founding of the foundation. An important step has already been taken: The Ministry of the Interior in Kiel has approved the statutes of the “7Türme+” Foundation. Head of Administration Christine Buller-Reinertz describes the new foundation as a reliable structure that will be organized in the coming weeks.

New office space and bank account

But that's not all: In order to get the foundation rolling, a few logistical hurdles still have to be overcome. This includes opening a bank account and setting up office space in downtown Lübeck. These are essential steps to ensure the maintenance of the five important old town churches with their seven towers.

Another pleasing aspect: the former Federal President has taken over the patronage of the foundation. This decision is based not only on a connection to the Hanseatic cities, but also on a personal interest. He emphasizes how important it is that individuals, foundations, public bodies and churches get involved in such large projects. Lübeck, as part of the world cultural heritage, should under no circumstances be left to decay, he emphasizes. Here it is important to take responsibility and leave future generations a legacy that testifies to the strength and will of people.

The contribution to monument protection

A secure future for the historic buildings is not just a major concern of the foundation. The Monument Protection initiatives are also increasingly calling for a reduction in decay and are relying on committed supporters. A notable aspect of this is that responsibility is seen as a central building block of a functioning democracy. Anyone who wants to secure their inheritance not only needs financial support, but also strong joint action.

With the establishment of the “7Türme+” Foundation, Lübeck has taken an important step towards preserving and maintaining its cultural heritage. The new challenges not only offer opportunities for renewal, but also open up opportunities to strengthen local coexistence. Citizens and parishes are called upon to actively participate in this important project.
