Paul-Feindt-Stiftung

The Paul-Feindt-Stiftung (full name: "Paul-Feindt-Stiftung - Stiftung für Ornithologie, Tierarten- und Biotopschutz") is a non-profit foundation under German civil law (gemeinnützige Stiftung bürgerlichen Rechts) based in Hildesheim, Lower Saxony. It was established in 1989 by the Ornithologischer Verein zu Hildesheim (OVH), the local ornithological society, and is dedicated to the protection, maintenance and development of near-natural habitats within the historically evolved cultural landscape around Hildesheim. The foundation carries out species and biotope protection projects, largely on its own land, across all political municipalities of the Hildesheim district and in some neighbouring communities. Its work spans the Calenberger and Hildesheimer Börde, including the Entenfang nature reserve, the Tongrube Wätzum nature reserve, the former Kemme sewage ponds, and the Bruchgraben lowland in the river valleys of the Innerste and Leine with their tributaries. It is also active in the FFH area "Leine unter dem Rammelsberg", the EU bird sanctuary "Innerstetal" with the Derneburg pond area, the former Baddeckenstedt sewage ponds, and the Nettetal in the Leine and Innerste hill country, including semi-dry grasslands near Hildesheim, Lamspringe, Bad Salzdetfurth, Freden and Alfeld. Further projects include the Nationales Naturerbe Osterberg and arable wild herb protection in the Wernershöhe nature reserve. As a charitable foundation, the Paul-Feindt-Stiftung pursues its goals in close cooperation with the OVH, other like-minded organisations and the specialist authorities. It is named after Paul Feindt, though the evidence provided does not detail his biography. The foundation does not operate as a commercial business; it is a civil-law foundation funded and organised for conservation purposes. Its public presence is centred on its website, which invites supporters to help preserve the beauty and diversity of the cultural landscape around Hildesheim.
