Strengthening what drives Kaiserslautern
Through our two foundations, we support various projects that are particularly important to us. We fund projects that keep our region vibrant, innovative and fit for the future.
In 2001, the city of Kaiserslautern celebrated its 725th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the four ‘city-based’ companies – TWK, Gasanstalt, Stadtsparkasse and BAU AG – each established charitable foundations. Today, the TWK and Gasanstalt foundations are united under the umbrella of SWK and work together to support our city.
