brotZeit e.V.

About us

Every 5th child in Germany goes to school without breakfast. brotZeit e.V. has set itself the task of providing a free and balanced breakfast for schoolchildren at primary and special schools with increased support needs. The breakfast is prepared every morning by senior volunteers. With the brotZeit breakfast, the children are more focused in class and can improve their school performance in the long term.

In 2008, actress Uschi Glas heard a radio report claiming that there were 3,000 hungry primary school children in Munich alone. She could hardly believe it and researched in Munich schools; all the head teachers she contacted confirmed this statement. Uschi Glas, her husband, management consultant Dieter Hermann, Munich lawyer Dr. Harald Mosler and his wife Gisela then founded the brotZeit e.V. association in February 2009.

brotZeit now reaches 15,000 children at 375 schools across Germany every morning.
