Taking Responsibility Together – Rotary Club Goeppingen

Community involvement thrives on people who contribute their time, knowledge, and connections. The Rotary Club of Goeppingen brings together people from various professions to support social projects, education, and culture—both in the region and across national borders. The Filstalwelle report from October 27, 2026, provides insight into this work.

Supporting Young People

Through the “Rotary School of Life,” the Rotary Clubs of Goeppingen and Goeppingen-Stauferland support students in their career exploration. We at Gaus Architekten were also there at the Werner-Heisenberg-Gymnasium on October 14, 2026. In one-on-one conversations, we provided insights into architecture, interior design, and graphic design, and answered questions about apprenticeships, college, and everyday professional life.

‍Help Across Borders

Another key focus is the club’s work in Uganda. Together with partner clubs, the Rotary Club of “ Goeppingen ” supports water supply projects at schools. Rain gutters, cisterns, and filtration systems are intended to provide approximately 7,000 children at 16 schools with access to clean drinking water. In addition, the club supports St. Monica Junior School in Kasanje. The club’s projects also include cultural promotion, youth exchanges, and the global fight against polio.

Christian Gaus is personally involved

Christian Gaus is active as a member and former president of the Rotary Club of Goeppingen. He helped launch the drinking water project in Uganda and worked with other members to move it forward. In the spring of 2025, he traveled to Uganda with Fabio Tino Vercelli to visit the schools and oversee the project’s implementation on site. His efforts combine personal initiative with Rotary’s international network.
