Rosa Luxemburg Foundation Booklet - Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung

The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation is a party affiliated foundation
which is active throughout Germany. The events, publications and
other activities of our partners in the federal states are an important
part of our political education programme. These include regional
foundations, regional offices, Rosa Luxemburg Clubs and
many other regular co-operation partners. This close co-operation
allows more than 2 000 events to be carried out annually throughout
Germany. With this offer, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation addresses
the immediate environment of the left party, as well as a
general public interested in political education.
The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation’s network of foundations consists
of 16 legally independent regional foundations along with
the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation at a federal level. The network
is organised in a regional council in which each foundation has a
voice. This regional council represents the regional foundations to
the Executive Board of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation. In most
federal states (except for Berlin, Brandenburg and Saxony), the
Rosa Luxemburg Foundation maintains regional offices with their
own employees. The regional offices work very closely with the
respective regional Rosa Luxemburg Foundations; they are the link
between regional work in the respective federal state and the Rosa
Luxemburg Foundation at a federal level. As most of the other
party affiliated foundations, the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation and
regional foundations are not institutions in the sense of foundation
law, but registered associations.
The Rosa Luxemburg Clubs organise education programmes at a
local level. The largest number of clubs was founded in North Rhine
Westphalia and Lower Saxony; however, there are also clubs in
most other federal states. There, they usually represent the respective
regional foundation and the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation at a
federal level. In some eastern states such as Brandenburg, Saxony
