Social Commitment

‘Der Hamburger Weg’

REYHER has been a partner of the HSV initiative “Der Hamburger Weg” since 2016. With this commitment, we assume social responsibility and support social and sustainable activities together with HSV. With its projects, “Der Hamburger Weg” focuses on the areas of education, social issues, sport and sustainability. Children and young people in particular, including our future young professionals, are the focus here.

Running for a good cause

A large number of charity runs occupy an important place in REYHER’s social commitment. For many years, our colleagues have been taking part in various races in and around Hamburg every year, including:

• phönikks Spendenlauf (charity)
• B2Run Hamburg
• Hamburg Commercial Bank RUN
• MOPO-Staffellauf (local newspaper relay)
• UKE-Benefizlauf (university hospital charity)

The proceeds from these runs go to various charities and projects. More detailed information can be found on the websites of the respective runs.

Formula Student

Formula Student (FS) is the largest competition for engineers worldwide, with over 500 teams taking part. Every year the aim of the competition is to design, create, and test a racing car and then compete in events in different countries at the end of the season.

Victory ultimately goes to the team, which presents the best overall package of design, financial planning, sales arguments and performance on the racetrack, to the experts from the automotive, motor sport and supplier industries.

REYHER regularly supports teams from various universities with fasteners, including:

Technische Universität Hamburg Harburg

Technische Universität München

Urban Gardening

The Hamburg school, Rellinger Straße received pallet frames from REYHER for a school project. Using the 24 frames, pupils have built, planted, maintained and harvested raised beds for their school yard.

The Bee Hive

"Protect bees - Secure the Future" is the motto of the joint initiative of Bien-Zenker, supplier of prefabricated houses, and its partner companies. In view of global bee mortality and the general decline in insect diversity, the Bien-Zenker initiative has set itself the goal of attracting companies to protect bees in particular and biodiversity in general. The participating companies transform their fallow land and other properties into bee pastures or set up bee meeting places and encourage their employees and customers to deal with the topic of sustainability. As a pilot project, a meeting place for one million bees was built on the company premises of Bien-Zenker in Schlüchtern in the Main-Kinzig county, in Hesse.

Culture raft ‘Sloop’

The non-profit association for mobile activities is a group of Hamburg volunteers and refugees, which has jointly realized the project ‘Sloop - the raft for Hamburg’. A space has been created on the water for art and culture. The raft is a charitable meeting place for all and is run not-for-profit.

The sloop took four months to build at Peute in 2017. It is 15-metres-long, 5-metres-wide and powered by two outboard motors. The floats were welded by the members.

Since spring 2017 regional cruises and activities in various formats such as cinema, theatre and concerts on board have been organized. The sloop’s berth is in Wilhelmsburg in Hamburg.

Every single screw that was installed in the sloop comes from REYHER.

The culture raft "Schaluppe" - a project of the non-profit association for "mobile activities e.V."

Schwarzenbek Railway Fans

Friends of the Schwarzenbek model railway association in Schleswig-Holstein is the largest of its kind in Germany. The association was born of an idea from a community of N scale (1:160) model railway enthusiasts. Within a few years, a digitized system was created by a group of regulars and community craft evenings. Around 100 metres of track was built for the transportable model railway. In addition, other systems were added later for the conventional HO scale (1:87).

REYHER has contributed lock screws for the construction of these model railways.

Tractor Pulling

Tractor Pulling is a vehicle towing competition where a tractor has to pull a loaded (brake) van as far as possible on a 100-metre-long and 10-metre-wide competition path. This motor sport seeks the most powerful tractor, the most skilful driver and the best team.

We support the ‘Green Monster’ team from Füchstorf in Westphalia.
