create MANY.
Welcome to the GffK
Participation and consumer cooperative eG
UNESCO:
Our cooperative idea
is intangible cultural heritage
of humanity.
The cooperative idea has been part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity since 2016. This was decided by the intergovernmental committee on the intangible cultural heritage of UNESCO at its annual meeting in Addis Ababa.
"A cooperative is a voluntary association of people with the same interests that promotes individual commitment and self-confidence," declared UNESCO.
A cooperative promotes social, cultural and economic participation. Members would become co-owners by purchasing shares in the cooperative. The high number of cooperative members in Germany and the legal protection of their principles through a cooperative law are special features in an international comparison, the German UNESCO Commission continues.
The cooperative
Community for fair contact
Nice that you arrived with us. We would like to invite everyone to join us in advocating an economic, ecological and social world based on solidarity. The GffK Participation and Consumer Cooperative eG Berlin sees itself as a traditional form of cooperative and bundles core competencies, helps many entrepreneurs / businesses with the participation brand and acts as a large community of benefits for its members.
Stayed the same for over 150 years!
We follow the guiding principle of every cooperative, which has remained the same for over 150 years: It is about using the power of the community to implement common goals more quickly and to achieve greater benefit for each individual. Especially in a dark and uncertain time when many good and sustainable companies and businesses have to close forever, we open our gates to support and help! As a cooperative, we participate in many companies and businesses in order to maintain and build them up over the long term. Every entrepreneur, every business owner can ask for support from us and will be heard.

Our focus
Safe form of investment
Land register instead of savings book:
What else can we do in 30 years
buy for one euro?
In the 20th century there were already two major currency devaluations ...
The great inflation of 1923 and the currency reform of 1948. In both cases, the land register had little effect - in contrast to the savings account.
Its interest and assets are constantly being “eaten up”, perhaps even “eaten up” by inflation, if you consider that especially in the acute period of 2020/2021, when the population is depositing more and more money in savings accounts.
Lt. Statements from banking circles are being considered to punish savers with a negative interest rate.
The question arises:
How safe is your money and what will your money be worth tomorrow?
Community
Pandemic insolvency wave:
Before good and stable company / business
during the upcoming
Insolvency are excluded (corpse-busting),
wants the GffK eG
the entrepreneurs
offer a real opportunity:
GffK eG offers entrepreneurs a stake in order to get the company back on track. For this purpose, GffK eG participates in the company to be supported for a minimum term of three years.
During the next three years, profits have to be set aside in order to put the company on a healthy footing.
Furthermore, various consultants and specialists from GffK eG will actively support the respective company.
Balance
Economic-social balance
GffK eG wants to be more than just a cooperative for its members, where they generate advantages and returns.
The economic-social balance for the environment, climate, community spirit, joy and music is the absolute focus at GffK eG.
Instead of just participating in various companies, GffK eG also wants to develop its own projects and establish them on the market.
NOT to generate greater profits for our members, but to inform the population in a transparent and honest way and to set the appropriate course for them.
Only if we manage to establish an economic-social balance for the population can we all benefit from great benefits together!
"Connected, even the weak are powerful."

Doctor, poet, philosopher and historian (1759-1805)
Many of his plays belong to the standard repertoire of German-speaking theaters.
His Blladen are among the most famous German poems.
The 4 MOST IMPORTANT requirements that need to be regulated:
1
Peace in our world
A future without wars cannot be taken for granted.
But here, too, it's mainly about
about power and money!
2
Climate & environmental protection
The exploitation of our earth leads to environmental problems, loss of species, scarcity of resources, hunger, migration of peoples and similar problems.
3
Poor-rich scissors
The gap between rich and poor has been widening and unchecked for decades. The work is unjustly distributed - a fair economic system is needed.
4
RUBBISH AND WASTE
It's over - you can no longer sweep this topic under the rug. International, clear disposal solutions are required.
Otherwise, this issue will be the MOST IMPORTANT thing we leave to our children.
Albert Einstein
Scientists of the modern age
(1879 - 1955)
"You can never have problems
solve with the same mindset,
through which they were created. "
Current
Information
The world is changing rapidly -
We have to adapt and
seize new opportunities.
For self-protection,
to protect our children and their children,
as well as to protect our environment and the climate.
"Nobody is useless in this world
who makes someone else's burden lighter. "
