The House on the Hill is the heart of the Krzyżowa remembrance and education work. The members of the Kreisau Circle met in the former home of Helmuth James and Freya von Moltke during the Second World War.The building was completely renovated in the '90s and ceremonially opened as a memorial and residential building in 1998. Over the past decade or so, the technical condition of the building has deteriorated significantly due to humidity and under the influence of weather conditions.Therefore, in 2022, a technical dossier was started, which will form the basis, planned for the following years, for the renovation of our memorial.
External construction work will begin later in 2023. The foundations will be drained and insulated, and the roof and elevation renovated. Therefore, guests visiting the Krzyżowa Foundation must expect restricted access to the House on the Hill from July onwards. Work on the interior will continue in the coming years. In addition, renovation and modernisation of the educational area and revitalisation of the garden are planned.
The big challenge for Krzyżowa now is to secure the necessary funding. The Willy Robert Pitzer Foundation, the Dr. Rolf M. Schwiete Foundation and the Georg Zinner Foundation have already pledged the initial funding, while funds are still lacking to complete all the necessary construction and renovation work and the new exhibition and educational space.
We invite everyone to participate in this important project. How can you do this? To help us complete the renovation, you can make a donation for this purpose.
