Stiftung Adam von Trott, Imshausen e.V.

About us

Since 1986, the Adam von Trott Foundation, Imshausen e.V., has been working at the extracurricular learning center in Imshausen, the place where Adam von Trott spent important years of his life, in the field of historical and political education in the spirit of democracy education. The former family estate with its adjoining Trottenpark also serves as a memorial and place of remembrance for Adam von Trott and the German resistance against National Socialism, offering space for encounters and exchange. Adam von Trott, resistance fighter, international diplomat, and staunch democrat, was an opponent of the Nazi regime and participated in the attempted coup of July 20, 1944. In a project with the University of Göttingen, parts of the building complex on the grounds were renovated and a permanent exhibition entitled “Encounter with Adam von Trott” was set up. The foundation is dedicated to remembrance and education about Nazism, as well as democracy education for a wide range of target groups.
