Erika Simon Stiftung

About Erika Simon Stiftung

Erika Simon Stiftung supports the preservation and interpretation of German cultural heritage in historic Silesia, with a strong emphasis on conservation of churches, cemeteries, archives, monuments, and other heritage sites. It also backs projects that foster German-Polish reconciliation and cross-border cultural encounter, especially through exhibitions, publications, music, and youth exchange. The foundation appears highly place-based and hands-on, often funding specific restoration or documentation tasks in Silesia rather than broad programmatic work.
