This is breaking news for those seeking meaningful ways to engage with the city and contribute to its well-being. This year’s efforts promise a particularly colorful and impactful pre-Christmas season.
Rotary Advent Calendar 2025: A Daily Dose of Hope & Winning
Mark your calendars! The highly anticipated Rotary Advent Calendar 2025 will be available from November 3rd. Featuring a stunning view of the Landungsbrücken, this calendar isn’t just a festive countdown; it’s a chance to win daily prizes while supporting two incredible causes: Hamburg Leuchtfeuer and the “My Ocean Challenge” educational program. Each €5 calendar purchase directly fuels education and social commitment within Hamburg. The calendar will be available at the Hamburg Leuchtfeuer office, online, and at various locations throughout the city. Advent calendars have a long history, originating in 19th-century Germany as a way for families to mark the days of Advent, but this calendar adds a modern philanthropic twist.
The Beacon Teddy 2025: A Rainbow of Solidarity
Get ready to welcome a burst of color! On November 20th, the 29th Teddy Campaign kicks off in the foyer of Hamburg Central Station. For nearly three decades, the Leuchtfeuer teddy bear has been a powerful symbol of solidarity, compassion, and inclusivity. This year, the teddy shines brighter than ever – adorned in vibrant rainbow colors, representing a cheerful message of acceptance and support. Purchasing a teddy bear directly supports Leuchtfeuer’s projects assisting those facing serious illness, grief, and discrimination. The campaign’s roots trace back to the 1980s, when the teddy bear was first used as a symbol against exclusion. Bears will be available at the main station and participating retailers, but supplies are limited, so act fast!

The shop’s grand opening will be held on November 20th at 7 p.m., but registration is required by November 13th ([email protected] or 040-387 380). The motto is simple: “Shop and do good.” The concept of charity shops, originating in the UK, has gained popularity worldwide as a sustainable and socially responsible way to shop.
