MaZe Marburg

In the location's words:

Dear Marburg residents,

The coronavirus crisis has really shaken up our everyday lives. Whether suddenly without work, school or money, working from home or in self-isolation, with an unexpected amount of time on their hands or confronted with future scenarios that threaten their existence, many people suddenly need help and many others are happy to offer their assistance. Mediation is not always easy, as structural conditions and economic, hygienic, legal and political demands make it difficult to set up the necessary support structures. We want to counteract this! People in need of help regularly meet many people who are willing to help.

As part of small and medium-sized projects, we are now also active as organizers, supporting and advising on the implementation of new project ideas or campaigns, establishing contacts and arranging cooperation. You can find out more about this under the "Projects" tab.

We see Solidarburg as a mediation platform through which everyone in their immediate neighborhood can provide help themselves and responsibly, be it through individual interpersonal help, collaboration in a project or participation in campaigns. Together, we want to protect and support people with a particular health risk or special burdens during the crisis. By helping each other, we can shoulder the challenges together so that no one has to remain alone in this situation.

During the Corona crisis, we are working in coordination with the municipal Corona Aid and the Marburg Volunteer Agency, while we continue to actively look for problems and needs for help that we can solve together. In our public relations work, we are also committed to supporting civilian self-organization in times of crisis.

We have drawn up a minimum ethical consensus for our work: Our actions are always based on the needs and interests of those seeking help and those providing help. Our help referrals and offers are non-partisan. This means that help is provided solely on the basis of humanitarian need. Ethnic origin, gender, sexuality or religious and political affiliation play no role in the placement and provision of assistance.
