In Lower Saxony, 3.2 million people work voluntarily for the common good. They make an important contribution to cohesion in our society and contribute to a Lower Saxony worth living in. All active citizens deserve thanks for this commitment. It is priceless and deserves public recognition.

The Lower Saxony Ehrenamtskarte is an attractive award to recognize outstanding commitment. It gives something back to those who are particularly committed to helping others, enriching our lives together and promoting solidarity in our society.

With the Ehrenamtskarte, you can enjoy discounts at public institutions and numerous providers. Whether sport, culture or leisure - the areas in which you can use the card are diverse.

The City of Salzgitter has commissioned the Volunteer Center (FZS) to carry out the application, checking and issuing of the Ehrenamtskarte. The applicant can download the application form at

freiwilligenzentrum-salzgitter.de/unser-service/ (opens in a new tab)

- the FZS will provide all the necessary information.

The completed application form must be confirmed by the organization for which the applicant is volunteering and then forwarded to the FZS.
