“Grant” to Christoph Sonntag

In addition to his work as a cabaret artist, Christoph Sonntag is also involved with his scholarship Christoph Sonntag gGmbH, which was founded in August 2007. With the initiative “The Max-Eyth-See Stuttgart should get clean”, the “grant” set its first goal. In May 2012, the project to completely flush the Max-Eyth-See with fresh spring water was successfully completed. In addition, other projects have emerged over the years, such as open-air lessons in the “Classroom by the Lake” or the “Nutrition Weeks”. Since 2010, the scholarship has been traveling to ten secondary and technical secondary schools in Baden-Württemberg every year to inspire children and young people for “healthy eating, table and culture”. With the “Sternchenfänger” project, the “scholarship” supports sick, handicapped and poor children and fulfills their “heartfelt wishes”. For the project "Street Camp" a supervised by street workers of the Stuttgart youth facility "hiding" since November 2012 Van on the streets of Stuttgart on the road, the young runaways and homeless children provides a first point of contact.

In 2013 and 2016 the “Tolerance Summit”, a mixture of a symposium and a cabaret event on the subject of “Tolerance”, took place. In 2015 this resulted in the “Tolerance Weeks” project, in which school classes deal with the subject of tolerance and intolerance. The “Classroom on the River” project includes an environmental educational offer on the small Alder Island in Waiblingen .

On April 25, 2015, Christoph Sonntag received the Order of Merit of the State of Baden-Württemberg from Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann in Mannheim Castle .

Two dinners paid for on Sunday with the Baden-Württemberg Minister of Social Affairs Manfred Lucha triggered an affair because they fell during a period in which Sunday was trying to extend a project of his foundation, for which he received 180,000 euros in funding. A final internal audit by the regional headquarters showed that the project was carried out according to plan, that all project-related services commissioned were provided and that all expenses are fully recorded. The audit cannot confirm the accusations that have been made in public “regarding improper spending of project funds. The opposite is the case, ”the statement said. Only a sum of 6537 euros had to be paid back to the state center for political education . This sum concerned expenses that flowed completely into the project, but which took place as preparatory work before the approval period and therefore could not be accepted in the project sum afterwards.
