Awards and prizes: A confirmation of our success!

What ultimately constitutes success? Are they prizes or awards? For us, they are more like the visible results of our work.

Claudia Seidensticker has been awarded, among other things, the NRW Order of Merit and is Düsseldorf's Citizen of the Year 2023 – both honorable confirmations of what we have achieved together.

Success doesn't necessarily mean winning an award. But every award shows that our work is having an impact and receiving public recognition.

Some of our milestones:

• 2025 Town & Country Foundation Prize
• 2024: RSGV Youth Culture Prize
• 2023: Our chairwoman Claudia Seidensticker is named Düsseldorf Woman of the Year
• 2022: NRW State Order of Merit
• 2021: Budnianer Aid Prize for projects during the Corona pandemic
• 2017: Receipt of the Martins-Taler of the city of Düsseldorf
• 2009: Selected Landmark in the Land of Ideas
• 2008: Guinness Book of Records

Our success is not measured by awards alone. It is equally reflected in the careful planning, implementation, and organization of our projects – and is also visible in our current figures and facts.
