Film documentary of “Auf Zeit” with UrbanSkillz
For the first time not a Rotary project, but one from the field of youth culture: our film documentation of the project “Auf Zeit” by Olivia Maciejowski and her team UrbanSkillz. For this, we offered the young people a school-accompanying internship over the entire course of the project. The end result was the finished documentary film, for which the film team received well-deserved applause in front of many spectators and guests at the big closing event. UrbanSkillz rocked – we rocked with them!
Vision Rotary Digital 2025
Based on our experience in relaunching the German Rotary club websites, we developed a holistic and stakeholder-based vision for digital communication, digital cooperation, and digital training in the German-speaking Rotary world. This vision received on the rotary.de website its own section and has not lost much of its relevance despite a few years that have passed since then. Since visions are not always easy to grasp, we created four short films that follow the Rotarian career of a woman named Lisa and her use of various digital tools along the way.
Film 1: Lisa’s time with Rotaract
Film 2: Lisa and Rotary – Collaboration in the Club
Film 3: Lisa’s involvement in the District Advisory Council
Film 4: Lisa’s involvement in the District Advisory Council
Sponsor of the show of works of communication designers
For several years, we provided financial support to the students of the communication design course at HTWG Konstanz for the Werkschau, the large exhibition and presentation of the final theses. And we are also very close to the university in other ways, because after all, many of us studied there.
Karlstraßen festival design
In 2018, on the initiative of Sven Empen and a few other comrades-in-arms, the idea was born to organize a street festival in Tettnang’s central shopping street and raise money for a good cause. We are strongly connected to Tettnang through many customers and our co-founder Stefan Gessler, so it was a matter of honor for us to support this festival with a creative design.
“Espresso Perfetto Nuovo” and the district graphic service as fundraising tools for END POLIO NOW.
Despite the global fight against Corona, Rotary International’s END POLIO NOW can still be called the largest health project in human history. It all began in the late 1970s, and today the wild poliovirus is on the verge of eradication. In just a few decades, polio could be a disease of the past. Until that time comes, we too will continue our commitment to support Rotary’s greatest project. One of these commitments is the fundraising campaign with the Espresso Perfetto Nuovo coffee cup, which we have designed and realized and which we continue to sell for 16 euros each. With the proceeds of each cup and the tripling of donations by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, about 60 children can be vaccinated against polio. So far, we have been able to realize about 100,000 vaccinations through this campaign and another volunteer effort that we offer in Rotary District 1930 with the District Graphic Service.
Film about ROTEX in Rotary District 1930
Rotary is the largest voluntary youth exchange organization in the world and has been contributing to world peace for many decades. A very important part of this perfectly coordinated organization are the former exchange students who have joined forces in the ROTEX association and support the Rotary clubs in their exchange program. Since far too little is known about ROTEX, we have made a film with the ROTEXers, which is available as a short and a full version.

Schoen-Dich-zu-sehen.de
How can people in nursing homes and other institutions maintain contact with their loved ones in times of a pandemic? Rotarian Ludwig Neher pursued this question and developed a concept of how contact can be established by video chat using the simplest of means. We added our ideas and skills to this beautiful project and voluntarily developed the name, the design and also the website schoen-Dich-zu-sehen.de.
Online portal for Rotary presentations in Germany rotaryvortraege.de
Started as an initiative in Rotary District 1930, our idea of an online lecture exchange for Rotary meetings developed into a huge success nationwide in a very short time. Once again developed according to the Pareto principle, the platform offers more than 1,000 Rotary clubs in German-speaking countries an answer to the question of how, in times of a pandemic, club meetings that have been moved to the Internet can be enriched with attractive presentations. Far over 100 lectures are offered on rotaryvortraege.de. We are very happy about this huge success of the exchange, which is editorially and technically supervised by our employee Jannik Mittelstaedt, who is himself a member of the Rotaract Club Konstanz-Kreuzlingen.
Rotary says thank you
At the suggestion of the first German Rotary World President Holger Knaack, we developed a concept of how the great idea of the Rotary Club of Norderney to say thank you to Corona nurses with a vacation could be multiplied in German-speaking countries. The name “Rotary says thank you” and the website originate from our house, as always with Rotary of course pro bono.
Konstanzer Kischtle concept and design
Constance Rotarians provided the idea, namely to do good twice with a bag full of delicious things bought in Constance retail stores: the stores suffering from the pandemic and the recipients, in this case a Corona nursing station. We developed the idea further in dialog and turned the gift bag into a win-win-win situation. Because with the concept of the Konstanzer Kischtle, on the one hand, the Constance Rotarians can do something good for the retailers by buying there in larger quantities. On the other hand, the sale of each Kischtle leaves a surplus, which is then used to support local social projects in Constance. And last but not least, the gift-givers win, as the Kischtle provides them with an answer to the frequently asked question of what to give as a gift. For the Kischtle, we developed the name, the design, the website konstanzer-kischtle.de and the online store on a voluntary basis. However, this wonderful project is only made possible by the cooperation of many enthusiastic Rotarians from Constance, for which we would like to say a heartfelt thank you.
Wanderkalender and wanderkalender.com design and development
How can the Rotary Club of Constance-Mainau raise money for its social projects? Rotarian Kathrin Härle answered this question with an ingenious idea: She used her passion for hiking and the many experiences she had gathered on countless hikes and designed a hiking calendar with all the trimmings. The first edition of this calendar sold like hot cakes and brought in a lot of money for the club. We were responsible for the design and the website wanderkalender.com.
