Since its founding in 1698, the Francke Foundations have hosted a variety of cultural, scientific, educational and social institutions. Pastor August Hermann Francke used a larger donation of "four thalers and 16 groschen", which was given in Easter 1695 into the poor box of his rectory, as a basis for the structure of the facilities.
