When the Hugo Kükelhaus Gesellschaft e.V. was founded in 1993 to keep the work and ideas of Hugo Kükelhaus lively and to support its development, in the bylaws it was confirmed that this is the goal of the foundation being established.
On the occasion of the founding of the Kükelhaus Soest Foundation, reprints of lithographs based on motifs by Hugo Kükelhaus were produced in the name of the heirs Friedrich H. Kükelhaus and Barbara Vogel née Kükelhaus in a small edition of four motifs of 35 sheets each.
The Kükelhaus Soest Foundation has set the goal to keep the works and ideas of Hugo Kükelhaus alive and to spread and develop them. The purpose of the foundation is the advancement of science and research, of art and culture as well as the advancement of education in general, adult education and occupational training, including the support of students.

The Kükelhaus Soest foundation is discretionary. To fulfill its aims, the foundation is dependent on support from a private and institutional sector/field.
That is why non-material support next to financial involvement for our attempt to realize the objective of the foundation is important and necessary. Because of the voluntary work of the board of trustees, every financial contribution benefits the foundation without any deductions.
