Gertrud und Hellmut Barthel Stiftung is a German family foundation with a strong regional anchor in Varel, Friesland, and the former Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, while also supporting selected national and international environmental work. Its giving spans education access and scholarships, arts and cultural heritage, monument preservation, and environmental protection, with a notable emphasis on practical, locally rooted projects and student support in fields linked to the HZI network and paper/packaging engineering. It also backs educational experiences, exhibitions, restoration efforts, and climate or biodiversity initiatives when they align with its mission.
Offers a mix of year-round small and mid-sized project grants, larger board-reviewed grants twice yearly, and an annual scholarship program with a June 1 deadline. Grant sizes range from up to €3,000 for small projects, €3,001–€9,999 for mid-size projects, and €10,000+ for large projects; scholarships provide about €550/month for the standard study duration. Funding is partly regional and often supports projects with clear local impact, though it also funds selected national and international environmental initiatives.
