Read about hope
Our publications in German offer insights into the work of the Hoffnungsträger Group. They tell the story of what happens when hope becomes a reality. Of people who have been given a second chance. Of reconciliation. Of entrepreneurship with values. Of places where the future is taking root.
Jeder verdient eine
zweite chance
Christoph Zehendner
“Jeder verdient eine zweite Chance“ (Everyone Deserves a Second Chance) is the title of Christoph Zehendner’s book, which explores various aspects of the work carried out by Seehaus e.V., the Hoffnungsträger Foundation and the Colombian partner organisation Prison Fellowship Colombia. It is filled with stories of reconciliation, dignity and renewed hope. The author profiles remarkable individuals and recounts moving life stories.
How young people at Seehaus, in Colombian prisons and elsewhere in the world transform from “hopeless cases” into “bearers of hope”, how the world can become a little better when people see “the good” in others, and how refugees find a new outlook on life in Hoffnungshäuser (Houses of Hope) – Christoph Zehendner recounts all this in a lively, infectious and encouraging way.

ZWISCHEN KREISSÄGE,
KLOSTER UND Konzern
Bruder Helmut Roßkopf
As a young master carpenter, Helmut Roßkopf joins a religious community. What follows is a journey full of surprises: a small monastery carpentry workshop grows into a leading European company. Brother Helmut brings together what many consider incompatible: faith and business acumen, prayer and entrepreneurial action. His biography tells of crises that are overcome. Of companions who appear at just the right moment. And of the conviction that work and prayer belong together.
The company Rosskopf + Partner is now owned by Hoffnungsträger Verantwortungseigentum. A book that gives hope to follow one’s own path.
