Dr. Walter and Margarete Cajewitz Foundation
The Dr. Walter and Margarete Cajewitz Foundation is a non-profit foundation. Its purpose is to support projects for the elderly. It is based in Hanover .
Benefactor
Walter Cajewitz was a businessman in Hanover. In the reconstruction years after the war , he founded a construction company with his wife Margarete and played a significant role in the reconstruction of Hanover. The couple generated real estate assets and decided that after their death a foundation should be set up from these assets in order to support elderly needy fellow citizens in shaping their evenings in life. After the death of Walter Cajewitz in 1976 and that of his wife Margarete in 1978, the Cajewitz Foundation was founded in accordance with her will, with its headquarters in Hanover.
Foundation, endowment
The foundation manages a real estate portfolio in Hanover and Berlin. The revenues generated flow into projects to support the elderly. In 1990 the foundation partially reoriented itself to Berlin-Pankow and opened up the historic residential complex “Amalienpark”. The Cajewitz Foundation expanded the activities to fulfill the foundation's purpose and built six foundation-owned senior centers in Berlin-Pankow, in which senior-friendly living is offered according to the latest standards. In this context, the Association for Senior Citizens' Work Pankow eV was founded so that the foundation's commitment is now increasingly concentrated on the Berlin district of Pankow. In 1999 the Cajewitz Foundation bought the dilapidated former Jewish orphanage in Pankow and reopened it in 2001 as a meeting place and cultural center. The foundation's board members are the Frankfurt criminologist and lawyer Peter-Alexis Albrecht and the real estate economist Titus Maximilian Albrecht.
