The HoffnungsGut Foundation was first developed in 2009 with a dream to offer refuge of the gentlest kind for both spectrums of the life cycle and is a registered, non-profit organization. HoffnungsGut Foundation specifically aims to assist elders as well as young women traumatized by sexual violence that has resulted in pregnancies.

The ownership of Gadebusch Castle was tranferred to the Foundation in January 2015. Renovation plans are under way to ensure a beautiful and peaceful headquarters and home for both the HoffnungsGut residents as well as to the public.

In partnership with European universities we have designed a specific reintegration and therapy program, have outlined many activities and support for the local community, will offer pilot projects and develop a permaculture garden as well as many other exciting projects.

The HoffnunsGut is a non-profit organization. Donations to help build this project are very much appreciated.
