Haus Gutenberg, Liechtenstein
Haus Gutenberg is an adult education institution established in 2004 as a private foundation and accredited by the public-law foundation for adult education in Liechtenstein. The house is supported by the state (Adult Education Foundation, Social Services Office), by Balzers Municipality, by a private association (Friends of the House) and by the Salettin Order, which has donated the property to the Foundation, and by private patrons. The house offers courses, which are largely delivered by external speakers and leaders serving as a seminar house for external organisers. The facility has five educational and administrative staff, as well as auxiliary staff.
The house focuses on adult education in the areas of personal development, spirituality, health and general social issues. It offers courses, seminars and other events led by professionals in adult education and other external experts in their field. This project has been carried out in cooperation with the Historical Association for the Principality of Liechtenstein, the Liechtenstein National Museum and four smaller, local museums (associated partners).
The organisation seeks to raise awareness of the importance of high standards and sustainability in preservation of cultural heritage and to promote understanding of this heritage among the general population.
