»In the course of my life I have realized that the narrow sense of the human existence can be gained by being of service, taking account of the requirements of our fellow-men. This being of service is the original duty of the individual as the participant of the creation of God. Hence, I have become a founder considering this concept of mutuality.« (Karl Kübel)

Manifold offers for the Big and the small ones
Since several years the Karl Kübel Foundation has been involved and committed to various German family days and is at the same time co-organizer of the family days in Hesse, Saxony and Thuringia. Among the targets of these family days are the public awareness and focus of the requirements and interests of families as well as contributing to an enhanced respect of a family- and child friendliness on all levels. 

Regional and national activists
On the occasion of the family day in Hesse family service agents of all parts of Germany present their myriad of offers. The family day offers the possibility to all visitors to get information on new family policies and new ways to cope with them.
