The purpose of the foundation is 

the creation of an archive, research and documentation center in which all available elements of the Anabaptist-Mennonite history,

  • historical, social or political events, demography,
  • economy, science and technology,
  • literature, folk culture, visual arts, photography and music

are being kept, classified and made accessible to the public and researchers in the form of exhibitions, loans, meetings, lectures or other historical and cultural events.
