Max Kade Houses and Residences

Max Kade Houses and Residences
in the U.S.A.

The Foundation supports the establishment of houses and institutes at various American Universities and Colleges to offer a forum in which students reside together and choose to speak German on a daily basis. By so doing, students gain a greater understanding of the histories, the cultures, and political, economic, and social developments of German-speaking countries and their impact on past, present and future students. In addition, schools invite writers-in-residence and distinguished professors who participate in the schools’ academic program which will significantly strengthen a college’s diversified German program.

The Foundation, following the desire for international understanding, supports the renovation and construction of student residences, cafeterias mensen) and learning centers where German-speaking students and American students can share academic and cultural ideas. The Foundation is willing to promote and support the aims of universities and “Studentenwerk” in Germany and other German-speaking countries by providing “seed money” for the refurbishment of dormitories in these university towns abroad. In exchange for our donation, the “Studentenwerk” agrees to set aside a certain percentage of the living spaces for American students. The administration of these dormitories and selection of students is left to the management of the requisite “Studentenwerk”.
