What makes it even more remarkable: the entire project was funded exclusively through donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The importance of this facility is enormous. According to current figures, around 137,000 children and young people in Germany are living on the streets \u2013 approximately 15,700 of them in Berlin alone. With THE BUTZE, a place has now been created that offers hope, protection and new perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impressive six-storey building near Lichtenberg station is modular in design and provides far more than emergency accommodation. In addition to common areas, it includes a clothing bank, food distribution, support and counselling services, facilities for showering and washing, as well as safe places to sleep. Here, young people are supported gently, respectfully and without pressure as they take their first steps back towards a more stable life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, 23 dedicated social workers are already active on site. Once fully operational, around 100 employees will be working for the association. The annual operating costs are estimated at approximately \u20ac3.2 million \u2013 a figure that underlines just how comprehensive and sustainable this support programme is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hahnair Foundation has been supporting Stra\u00dfenkinder e.V. since 2014 and is delighted to be part of this important project. The opening of THE BUTZE is a powerful sign of humanity, solidarity and social responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2156\" height=\"1619\" data-id=\"3263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hahnairfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/IMG_20261002_110752.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3263\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 2 October, after three years of construction, THE BUTZE in Berlin-Lichtenberg was officially opened \u2013 a true lighthouse project by the association Stra\u00dfenkinder e.V. and the first facility of its kind in Germany.
