Your donation is important!
The founding donors provided the initial endowment capital of 30.000 €. The income from these can only be a first step in the pursuit of the statutory objectives. We are therefore very dependent on the additional support of many donors.


Your donation will help to ensure that the University Church of St Paul as a room for theological, musical and academic use can be filled with life. For the period after completion there are extensive plans for the use of the space by the Theology Faculty, the worship department and the university music department. It is a major concern of the Foundation to support the implementation of such events to support as fully as possible. You can further the goals of the Foundation with donations or additions to the endowment capital, both of which are tax deductible in Germany. Additions to the Foundation are converted into (untouchable) endowment capital, the proceeds of which will be used for the furthering of the objectives of the Foundation. Donations contribute directly to the financial capacity of the Foundation to fulfil its objectives.


Donations may be sent to the following bank account:
Account name: Stiftung Universitätskirche St. Pauli zu Leipzig
Bank: UniCredit Bank AG Leipzig
IBAN: DE03 8602 0086 0609 4646 40
BIC: HYVEDEMM495


Please include your address in the transfer order. If you wish your donation to go towards a specific purpose, please add also a designation such as 'worship' or 'music'. For donations of more than 200 € you will need a receipt for your donation to be tax deductible in Germany. We are more than happy to provide you with this receipt. According to the last Notice of Exemption by the Leipzig Tax Office II,  issued on 4 September 2020, the Foundation serves exclusively and directly not-for-profit and religious purposes according to §§ 51 ff of the German Tax Code (AO). The Foundation has been freed from paying corporate income tax.


The first 249 donors or founding donors of 500 € or more will receive as a special thank you for theirsupport and contribution to the Foundation a numbered Bronze Medal of St Paul and a Founder Letter. No.1 of this medal was presented to the University service on 29 May 2009 with the intention to include it in a solemn ceremony at the altar foundation stone of the University Church of St Paul.
