Engagement & Projects

The Eilen­burg Indoor Swim­ming Pool now shi­nes in new sple­ndor. Some time ago, the swim­ming pool team laun­ched the “Mei­ne Schwimm­hal­le Plus” fund­rai­sing initia­ti­ve.

Thanks to dona­ti­ons from the public and the city of Eilen­burg, new under­wa­ter spot­lights were instal­led through this pro­ject during the sum­mer break of 2026, visi­bly enhan­cing the atmo­sphe­re in the swim­ming pool.

Sin­ce we at the Har­tung Foun­da­ti­on are deep­ly com­mit­ted to enhan­cing the appeal of the swim­ming pool’s ope­ra­ti­ons we deci­ded to con­tri­bu­te to the finan­cing and,

at the end of Sep­tem­ber, pre­sen­ted a dona­ti­on check to Hei­ko Lei­he and Michel Mül­ler from the Cul­tu­ral Affairs Depart­ment of the Eilen­burg city admi­nis­tra­ti­on.

From 22 to 30 August 2026, Eilen­burg was trans­for­med for the fourth time into the Klein­stadt­la­bor, brought with art and encoun­ters. This year, the event was dedi­ca­ted to a spe­cial anni­ver­sa­ry: ‘380 Years of Peace in Eilen­burg’ (1646–2026). At the ope­ning cerem­o­ny in St Nicho­las’ Church, the orga­nisers wel­co­med Dr Chris­tia­ne Schen­der­lein (Mem­ber of the Bun­des­tag) and Mayor Ralf Sche­ler, who unvei­led a pain­ting by the artist Vol­ker Polenz, com­mis­sio­ned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for the the­me and fun­ded by citi­zens of Eilen­burg.

Music and high spi­rits despi­te a few rain­drops… The Burg­berg Sere­na­de 2026 was a spe­cial high­light on the first weekend in July. Even a bit of rain couldn’t dam­pen the mood: the 7th Burg­berg Sere­na­de, orga­nis­ed by the Musik­ver­ein Eilen­burg and the Eilen­bur­ger Burg­ver­ein.

On the Cast­le Hill in Eilen­burg, was once again a won­derful event full of music, com­mu­ni­ty spi­rit and hos­pi­ta­li­ty. We will be in dis­cus­sion with the Burg­ver­ein to pro­mo­te and sup­port fur­ther events.

The Band­com­mu­ni­ty Leip­zig e.V.’s annu­al sum­mer fes­ti­val was actual­ly sup­po­sed to take place in wes­tern Leip­zig at the end of June, but the ongo­ing heat wave threw a wrench in the works — unfort­u­na­te­ly, the par­ty had to be can­ce­led.

In the run-up to the event, the orga­ni­zing team spared no effort, so we deci­ded once again to sup­port this event. Thanks in part to addi­tio­nal sup­port­ers, this cul­tu­ral hot­spot in Leip­zig acqui­red bat­­­tery-powered LED spot­lights, which now illu­mi­na­te the indoor stage.

To mark the 100th bir­th­day of the foun­der of LIFTKET Hoff­mann GmbH, Mr Diet­rich Hoff­mann, we at the Har­tung Foun­da­ti­on were guests at a spe­cial event at the ‘Zünd­ma­gnet Wur­zen’ Museum.As part of this com­me­mo­ra­ti­ve day, we pre­sen­ted a cer­ti­fi­ca­te of honour in reco­gni­ti­on of the long-stan­­­ding col­la­bo­ra­ti­on, dating back to the ear­ly 1990s, bet­ween our for­mer fami­­­ly-run busi­nesses.

Two com­pa­nies that, over many years, have play­ed a decisi­ve role in sha­ping the deve­lo­p­ment of auto­ma­ted stage tech­no­lo­gy and indus­tri­al appli­ca­ti­ons for chain hoists ‘Made in Ger­ma­ny’.
