Experience Kreisau With Us

Each year, we organise a trip to Kreisau, inviting supporters of the foundation and other interested individuals to personally experience this unique site of remembrance and encounters.

Highlights of the trip include:

  • A visit to the historic House on the Hill, where the Kreisau Circle held their meetings
  • Discussions with contemporary witnesses and descendants of the Kreisau Circle members
  • Lectures and discussions on the state of Europe and German-Polish relations
  • A one-day excursion to the historic city of Wrocław

  • “The Kreisau trip was once again a unique opportunity to recharge our energy and commitment to the European idea. The genius loci works its magic every time.”

    Dr. Jürgen Pansegrau, Judge and Donor

  • “Transformation is what I found in Kreisau. I admire Helmuth James von Moltke and the Kreisau Circle. I wanted to experience the place where they, even during the dictatorship, conceived of a united Europe—courageously and optimistically. That spirit now defines the youth meeting centre. A transformation we urgently need!”

    Irene Dänzer-Vanotti, Journalist and Participant of the Kreisau Trip 2023

  • “Kreisau has once again proven to be a place of remembrance and inspiration, offering new ideas and perspectives. It’s a place of the future that deserves all our commitment.”

    Dr. Ties Möckelmann, Farmer, Forester, and Donor

Our Events

In various formats such as lectures or conversations with contemporary witnesses, we explore the Kreisau legacy and its inspiring courage for dialog and change. We want to keep the history of Kreisau alive while always looking to the present and future of Europe.

Once a year, we organise a charity concert for the New Kreisau, with the international chamber music festival Krzyżowa-Music joining us as a special guest.
