Attention

We aim to make a positive contribution to society by giving back wherever possible, whether in small or large ways, financially or through knowledge. Fredeshiem invests in concrete activities related to social responsibility, including:

• Environmental responsibility and sustainability to minimize our ecological impact

Social and spiritual responsibility

Social responsibility reflects how people interact within Fredeshiem. Spiritual responsibility involves a perspective on life—its meaning, value, and how it should be lived. It addresses existential questions such as the purpose of life. At Fredeshiem, both aspects are valued, with respect for those who think, act, or live differently, reflected in the actions of management and staff.

Peaceful community

The name Fredeshiem contains the word “peace.” Originally a core Mennonite value, all guests—whether staying for a short or long time, are welcomed into a calm and peaceful environment.
