history

Theodor Heuss
Villa Hammerschmidt in Bonn
The Margarethenhof in Königswinter. Seat of the foundation from 1984 to 2001

The Friedrich Naumann Foundation was established on May 19, 1958 in the Villa Hammerschmidt in Bonn , the official and residence of the Federal President at the time , by Theodor Heuss and a close circle of friends of liberal politicians and intellectuals around Walter Erbe , Paul Luchtenberg , Reinhold Maier , Hans Wolfgang Rubin , Dorothee von Velsen and others and named after the liberal politician Friedrich Naumann.

The name of the foundation goes back to Theodor Heuss, who consciously wanted to create a reference to the citizenship school founded by his mentor Friedrich Naumann in Berlin in 1918 , which at the end of the First World War made a contribution to political education. At the official founding act in the Godesberg Redoute , Heuss spoke to an elite from politics, culture and business about “Naumann's legacy” and thus gave the foundation its direction: It should become an intellectual center of German liberalism and the foundations for a democratic one through civic political education Raising awareness in the population of the second post-war period.

The tasks of the foundation expanded considerably over the decades. In 1964 he started working abroad, in 1968 the “Political Archive” of the FDP (today's archive of liberalism ) was acquired, in 1973 the scholarship program began and in 1995 the Liberal Institute was founded as a liberal think tank .

The headquarters and location of the foundation's office has been Bonn since 1959, Bad Godesberg since 1962 and Königswinter (Margarethenhöhe) since 1984 . In 2000 the company moved to Potsdam- Babelsberg , first to Weberpark and from there in April 2001 to the Truman Villa in Karl-Marx-Straße. Since 1967 the foundation has been working in the Theodor-Heuss-Akademie in Gummersbach , which as an educational institution became the central event location. At the same time, it is the foundation's only educational facility that has existed without interruption to this day. In the 1990s there were other educational institutions in Konstanz (Waldhaus Jakob), Lauenburg / Elbe (match factory) and Kottenheide in Vogtland ( Wolfgang Natonek Academy ). To this day there is a cooperation with the educational institution Villa Lessing in Saarbrücken , which organizes events in Saarland.

Other financial contributions come to a large extent from the federal states and other regional authorities. The foundation is thus mainly financed from tax revenues.

Focus of work

The main focus of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom is based on the following core topics:

Social market economy

The foundation understands the social market economy as a liberal system of values ​​for the economy that guarantees citizens personal freedom, social peace and high prosperity. The most important projects are a fair balance between citizens and the state, prerequisites for innovation and progress, digital infrastructure and creative projects for the future of social security systems.

Open Society

For the foundation, self-determination and individual responsibility are the central categories of civil society . The rule of law and pluralism, the importance of freedom and civil rights - whether in data protection or security legislation - are just as much a focus as questions of political communication and information processes in the digital age.

education

The foundation advocates equal opportunities in the education system, freedom of educational pathways and lifelong learning. The opportunities of digitization for more creative freedom and more individual, more efficient learning are also a focus of work.

International politics

The foundation works to defend freedom around the world. This includes their commitment to human rights , the open society, the social market economy, the liberal rule of law and European unification . Specifically, the foundation works with liberal parties and networks in various projects, supports human rights groups , civil society organizations and promotes the training of journalists.

Human rights work

The foundation works in Germany and around the world for the realization of universal freedom and human rights from a liberal perspective. The focus is on the area of ​​" freedom of the press and freedom of expression ", which is particularly promoted by the foundation's journalist and media dialogue program. The human rights work of the foundation also focuses on the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transgender and intersex people ( LGBTI ) and, in the area of ​​economic and social human rights, the topic of business and human rights. In addition, it is also dedicated to other areas, such as the right to privacy or freedom of religion. The monthly human rights analysis of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation is published as “Focus on Human Rights”.

International work of the foundation - Start up Dialog

On July 1, 1963, the international department of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom was established, and in early 1964 the first foreign project with a center for adult education in Tunisia started . By the late 1960s, the foundation had expanded its presence to Latin America , southern Africa and Asia .

Today the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom is active in around 60 countries around the world and has local staff in over 40 countries. Together with partner organizations, it advocates democracy, rule of law, market economy and human rights on the basis of liberal convictions. In addition to traditional cooperation with liberal parties and networks, the spectrum of her activities also includes supporting human rights groups and civil society organizations, training journalists and implementing climate protection projects.

Project control is decentralized. To this end, the foundation will have seven regional offices in Brussels (European and Transatlantic Dialogue), Sofia (Southeast and Eastern Europe), Amman (Middle East and North Africa), Bangkok (Southeast and East Asia), New Delhi (South Asia) and Johannesburg in 2019 (Sub-Saharan Africa) and Mexico City (Latin America). They coordinate the work of more than forty project offices with a total of almost 300 local employees.

In Germany, the International Department conveys international political issues to a broader public and offers specialist forums on foreign and development policy issues for experts from politics, business, science and the media.

Special features of individual foreign offices
Egypt

In 2016, after forty years of liberal educational and dialogue work in Egypt , the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom had to vacate its representative office in Cairo because independent, self-determined work was no longer possible in view of the increasingly authoritarian framework. The Foundation then relocated its regional office, which controls the Foundation's activities in the Middle East and North Africa, to Amman, Jordan. The project region Middle East and North Africa traditionally plays a prominent role in the international work of the liberal foundation. The Foundation for Freedom has been present here since 1964; she started her international activities with a media project in Tunisia.

Moscow

The former office manager of the foundation in Moscow, Falk Bomsdorf, had to leave Russia in 2006 because the Russian authorities refused to extend his visa. The foundation was also not granted a license extension in Russia.

According to Rolf Berndt, the foundation's executive board member, the departure of Bomsdorf had “no political background”. In order to obtain a license that was valid under the new law, all non-governmental organizations had to be re-registered. Attempts at mediation by the German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier at the Russian Foreign Ministry had shown that Bomsdorf did not have to leave the country.

Beijing

In April 2008, in the run-up to the Olympic Games, China made the FNF jointly responsible for the global "anti-China protests" and the "attempts to disrupt the torch relay" because of the anti-China resolutions of the US Congress and the EU Parliament. The FNF then reaffirmed its commitment to Tibet.

Honduras

The foundation's stance on the military coup against the Honduran President Zelaya was the subject of a public controversy in 2009 as well as a small question from the Left Party in the Bundestag, which accused the foundation of supporting a military coup in Honduras. Reference was made to reports prepared by the FNF Regional Office in Honduras. The foundation took the view that President-elect Zelaya had tried unconstitutionally to secure a second term in office. This main argument of the putschists, taken up by the foundation officials, was presumably factually incorrect. The dominance of left-wing governments in Latin America also gave the foundation cause for concern. The view of the foundation was largely shared by the then federal government, in which the FDP was involved. The foundation's activities were rated here as a “contribution to democratization and the development of a partner country”.

Climate conference

In 2009, the FNF, together with three climate-skeptical organizations, the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE), the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) and the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) organized an information event in advance of the UN Climate conference in Copenhagen , at which Fred Singer was invited as the main speaker .

Berlin speech on freedom

Since 2007, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom has organized the Berlin Freedom Speech at the Brandenburg Gate every year . In this event format, selected speakers grapple with different concepts of freedom as a fundamental value of society. In April 2011, at the invitation of the Foundation , the philosopher Peter Sloterdijk gave a widely acclaimed speech entitled “Stress and Freedom”.
