The Kolping Society is an international Catholic social organization that is represented in over 50 countries around the world. Founded in the middle of the 19th century by the priest Adolph Kolping as a journeymen’s association committed to the world of work, the Kolping Society expanded to become a social association committed to society as a whole. The Kolping Society has been a reliable and strong partner in the field of trade union policy for decades.
Since its foundation, Arbeit und Dritte Welt has seen the Kolping Society of the Diocese of Hildesheim as an active supporter and has received several donations of tools and materials for the Third World. On May 5, the Kolping Family of Diekholzen visited us and informed themselves in detail about our work. This was a follow-up to the visit by Ana Clara de Moura Gomez from Brazil and Martin Knöchelmann from the diocesan association on May 14, 2009.
