Individual assistance
and sponsorship of support services
When Emil Possehl was alive, “the alleviation of hardship” mentioned in the Foundation’s articles of association mainly benefited injured war veterans and their families. Today, the Possehl Foundation finances a range of programmes for people experiencing social hardship and provides individual help where institutions are unable to do so.
The Possehl Foundation finances language courses for migrants, regardless of their residence status, because everyone who lives in our city should have the opportunity to be part of our society by learning German.
The Foundation fosters "Knappe Kasse - Clever Haushalten", a project of four different debt counselling organisations in Lübeck. Here people in need receive support, advice and encouragement with expertise and empathy.
