Deutschland hilft”
The Russian war in Ukraine has been raging for two weeks now. It has already cost numerous lives, millions are fleeing. As part of the Europe-wide operating Interparking Group, Contipark wants to set a sign of solidarity and support. Therefore, the Berlin parking operator donates a total of 7,500 euros for the victims of the Ukraine war to an alliance of German aid organizations.

Contipark had announced last week to donate a sum equal to the sales that would be generated last Sunday, March 06, 2022, in the four Berlin city center properties “Friedrichstadt-Passagen”, “Los-Angeles-Platz”, “Am KaDeWe” and “Kranzler Eck”. With this fundraising campaign, the company not only wanted to provide financial support, but also to encourage Berliners to take part in the numerous anti-war demonstrations that were taking place in the capital that day. Demonstrate and do good already while parking – under this motto Contipark had called on Friday among others via social media and newsletter.

Numerous drivers took advantage of this offer and thus contributed to the achievement of a high four-digit sum last Sunday. After evaluating the results, the management of Contipark has now decided to increase the donation amount to a round sum. Thus the company donates 7,500 euros to the “Aktion Deutschland hilft”, an alliance of reputable German aid organizations.

Contipark managing director Michael Kesseler says: “Social responsibility and social commitment belong to the core values of our company. That is why I am particularly touched by the current willingness to help shown by Germans and also by other European nations. We also want to make a contribution and are therefore very pleased to be able to present the sum of 7,500 euros to ‘Aktion Deutschland hilft’ – also on behalf of all our employees.”
