Lions Club Karlsruhe

The Lions Club Karl­sru­he was foun­ded on 10.11.1954. The char­ter cele­bra­tion took pla­ce on 15.10.1955 in the Hotel Bel­le­vue in Baden-Baden.

After the fir­st Lions Club was foun­ded in Ger­many in 1951/52, the Lions Club Karl­sru­he is one of the oldest. Foun­ding spon­sor was the Lions Club Bern and foun­ding pre­si­dent Gün­ther Moninger.

Events in the foun­ding year:

Year of dea­th of Albert Ein­ste­in, Tho­mas Mann and James Dean.

The Bun­deswe­hr is foun­ded and the Fede­ral Repu­blic of Ger­many joins NATO.

In the LC Karl­sru­he peo­ple from the most diffe­rent pro­fes­sions met and meet again and again, who are and were par­tly acti­ve in lea­ding posi­tions of the Karl­sru­he public life. Diffe­rent pre­si­dents have sha­ped the clu­b’s acti­vi­ti­es and pro­grams during their terms, reflec­ting the diver­si­ty of direc­tions and atti­tu­des among the membership.

What has remain­ed the same over time, howe­ver, is the live­ly and open exchan­ge on topics from a wide vari­e­ty of areas as well as the soci­al com­mit­ment, espe­cia­l­ly for you­th pro­jects and for peo­ple in need; one focus of the work has tra­di­tio­na­l­ly been and will con­ti­nue to be the pro­mo­tion of pro­jects in our city and our region.
