Deutscher Kinderschutzbund

What Deutscher Kinderschutzbund does

Deutscher Kinderschutzbund – OV Hattingen/Sprockhövel e.V. is a local, volunteer-run chapter of the German Child Protection Association (Deutscher Kinderschutzbund Bundesverband e.V.), founded on 11 June 1976 and based at Bismarckstraße 72, Hattingen, Germany. It operates exclusively within the Hattingen and Sprockhövel municipalities in North Rhine-Westphalia. The organization holds the status of an officially recognized free provider of youth welfare (anerkannter freier Träger der Jugendhilfe) and holds seats on the local Jugendhilfeausschüsse of both municipalities, giving it direct influence over local child-welfare policy.

The organization's principal commercial/community offering is the KiBuLa second-hand shop, which sells donated children's clothing, shoes, toys, and books on a donation/suggested-contribution basis and operates roughly 14 hours per week (Monday/Wednesday/Friday). Beyond the shop, the organization runs in-person child-development and community programs, including self-assertion courses at schools and daycares, Easter egg hunts in Kitas, the Hattinger Ferienspaß summer activities, and reading events at the Ranzenparty. Operations are entirely volunteer-led: a seven-member board (Kerstin Lohmann, Tanja Fischer, Heike Eggers, Ingo Finkenstein, Ralf Goebel, Gerd Fischer, and Niklas Schacht) governs the organization, with no paid staff.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The funding model comprises three streams: monetary donations from the public, recurring membership fees from supporters, and proceeds from the KiBuLa second-hand shop. Marketing and outreach are conducted through the organization's own website (kinderschutzbund-hattingen.de) and direct participation in local community events; there is no paid digital advertising, no mobile app, and no disclosed technology or AI infrastructure. Distribution is local-only, through a single physical storefront and direct on-site program delivery to schools, daycares, and community events.
