Organisation

Our headquarters is the Berghof Centre, located in central Berlin. This office opened in 2018, after the staff size outgrew its previous premises in Berlin’s Dahlem district, from which we'd been running projects since 1971.

The new, modern headquarters provides space for the executives of the Berghof Foundation, as well as for the majority of our administrative, research, regional and peace support staff.

The Berghof Centre runs an in-house library, specialising in literature related to conflict transformation. The library is accessible to the public upon request.

We maintain a branch office in Tübingen, the hometown of Professor Dr. Georg Zundel, located in the south of Germany. Named in honour of its founder, the Georg Zundel Haus has hosted peace education staff since 2002.

The bright and spacious building has a large meeting room, allowing the institute to host seminars, workshops, expert discussions, presentations and professional gatherings.

The Georg Zundel Haus also contains a library specialised in peace education, as well as an extensive media collection.

The team at our Beirut office works on a number of our projects in the Middle East and North Africa region.

Our Somalia programming includes several projects with local level activities geared towards addressing issues at the nexus of environmental degradation, climate change and conflict, which are undertaken by the insider peacebuilder networks (IPN) in Hirshabelle and Galmudug States. To support these, our office in Mogadishu serves as the place for our Somalia team to hold strategic meetings with IPN members, government counterparts and local as well as international partners.

Based on project needs and upon request of our partners, we sometimes open project offices in additional countries. At the moment, we have a permanent presence in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia as well as in Aden and Sana’a, Yemen.
