Carsten Maschmeyer is committed to helping people and families fleeing Ukraine. He rents a hotel on the Polish border.
Carsten Maschmeyer (62, “The Lion’s Den”) is committed to the refugees from Ukraine. As spot on news learned from the local environment, the investor and entrepreneur will rent a hotel in Hoyerswerda (Saxony) on the Polish border for people and families fleeing Ukraine.
160 beds are to be made available in 80 rooms. In addition to the sleeping places, the kitchen and the conference rooms can also be used by those who arrive as lounges for the children. The refugees are also provided with breakfast.
This support is initially planned for several months, with an option to extend it.
Since the Russian army began attacking Ukraine on February 24, women, children and the elderly in particular have been fleeing the eastern European country. Most refugees leave their country across the border to Poland. According to the United Nations, around four million people are expected to arrive at the borders in the next few weeks.
Carsten Maschmeyer and Veronica Ferres have been involved for a long time
As early as 2015, Carsten Maschmeyer and his wife, actress and producer Veronica Ferres (56, “The Unforgivable”), took in two families who had fled Syria for several weeks in their private home.
He also recently announced that none of his funds will invest in start-ups in which Russian investors are involved. So far he has only invested in Western start-ups.
