… for a fulfilling life in a familiar and trusted environment

News

On 23 April 2023, the time had finally come for the Dahlke Foundation to present itself to the residents and carers of the houses in Rohrlack and Vichel, as well as visitors from Berlin, in the context of a festive concert. After the guests had enjoyed coffee and cake, they went into the large salon, where the Beatrix Becker Trio was already waiting to play for their audience.
But before that, the Foundation was introduced by Viola Meineke, Chairwoman of the Board of the “Interessengemeinschaft zur Förderung von Menschen mit Behinderung (izfb) e.V.”, and by the founder Frank Dahlke. The izfb e.V. and the Dahlke Foundation will work closely together; as early as June, they will meet together with the management of the houses in Rohrlack and Vichel as well as representatives of the residents to discuss possible projects. The joint appearance on the concert stage underlined this nicely.
And then it started! Beatrix Becker (clarinets and piano), Rebecca Carrington (cello) and Diego Romero (guitar) performed and it didn't take long before they had the audience under their spell and crackling applause erupted after each of their pieces.

If you are curious, you can relive the speeches and the concert here!

The concert was over much too quickly, and after the last encore and the last farewell applause, the audience parted in front of the mansion in the best of moods under the afternoon spring sun.

The Dahlke Foundation would like to thank all those who prepared this concert and the castle coffee. Special thanks to Jürgen Duffner who was able to win the Beatrix Becker Trio for this concert, as well as to the ladies who took care of the physical well-being of the guests in the Schlosskaffee, and, last but not least, to the great musicians.

Establishment of the foundation

The time has finally come! We have cleared the last formal and legal hurdles, the Dahlke Foundation is established, the non-profit status is recognized, we can get started! This is great news for all those who have helped in the process.

Before the end of December, we want initiate a major fundraising campaign to significantly increase the foundation's capital, so that the resulting annual income can be used to provide  funding for the foundation's activities. More about that soon!
