About Stiftung Umgebindehaus

Stiftung Umgebindehaus supports the preservation and restoration of Umgebindehäuser, a distinctive timber folk-building tradition in Saxony’s Oberlausitz region. Its giving is highly place-based and heritage-focused, centered on practical repair, conservation advice, and recognition of especially strong preservation efforts in the districts of Bautzen and Görlitz. The foundation appears to work closely with local owners, project partners, and heritage actors rather than operating as an open-call national grantmaker.

Giving Approach

Primarily invite-only support, combining small project grants, advisory assistance, and an award program for exemplary restoration work; funding is geographically limited to the Oberlausitz/Bautzen/Görlitz area.

How to approach this funder

This is not an open application funder: support is invite-only and tied to the foundation’s regional preservation work. Organizations and property owners in the target geography should contact the foundation early, present a concrete restoration or maintenance plan for an Umgebindehaus, and be prepared to align with heritage-conservation standards and local funding pathways.
