Stig Guldberg
Stig Guldberg (born November 26, 1916 in Denmark , † April 18, 1980 ) is the founder of the Guldberg Plan, an organization that has been organizing rehabilitation measures for physically disabled children from Denmark, Germany, Austria and other countries since 1950. Guldberg, who lost his left forearm and right hand in an accident on February 18, 1947 in Næstved, Denmark , made it possible for well over 15,000 children to stay in one of his holiday camps by the time he died. The then Federal President Theodor Heuss awarded Guldberg the Federal Cross of Merit 1st Class on February 11, 1958 .
From 1963 to 1983 the Guldberg Plan ran its own summer camp in Kramnitze near Rødby on the Danish island of Lolland . The work of Guldberg is continued in Germany by the association "German working group Guldberg-Plan for the mental rehabilitation of disabled children - non-profit association eV" (DAGP) founded in 1974. The rehab camps over Easter and in summer are aimed at children of school age with any form of physical disability. The therapeutic approach developed by Stig Guldberg to give disabled children more independence and self-confidence, especially through sport and exercise, remains the focus of the activities.
