Restoring History.
Rebuilding Lives.
HanseHerz transforms Lübeck's abandoned architectural treasures into purposeful community hubs — providing shelter, jobs, and dignity for the vulnerable.

“Our mission is to ensure that heritage isn't just preserved, but put to work for those who need it most.”
Sabine Lowe, Founder

Humanitarian Purpose
In collaboration with Die Brücke, we provide psychological support, nutrition, and employment training within our refurbished spaces.
