BLAHODIINYI FOND VIDCHUI
The Charitable Foundation ‘Feel’ supports civilian and military actors in Ukraine with first aid kits, medicine, radios, tactical and functional clothing and helmets. The organisation is also helping to rebuild the infrastructure destroyed by Putin’s war.
We donate all of the proceeds from the Russian game licences here, as our games are still being sold in Russia under the old licences. Our Russian partners are obliged to print an anti-war story in every rulebook. We would like to encourage people to think about this, as the local reporting is unfortunately very one-sided. The accuracy of the printed anti-war story was checked by Ukrainians.

Schlosskonzerte Blutenburg e.V.
The classical music summer took place for the first time in July 2020, when almost all planned concerts were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The idea for this small festival had been born just a few weeks earlier, and seven Munich residents had founded the Schlosskonzerte Blutenburg e.V. association at short notice with a clear common goal: to make live concerts possible again despite difficult conditions in order to touch people through music. Numerous visitors enjoyed the performances of exceptional artists in the enchanting setting of the lower castle courtyard, and a concert for children and families also attracted many listeners.
