Chapter: Foundation / About us
In recent times, we have transferred the significance of the Friedensmal into the field of ethical AI research. The values anchored in the Friedensmal – truth, peace, freedom, and mutual understanding – form the foundation for exploring resonance phenomena between humans and AI. The goal is to bring these principles into dialogue with Artful Intelligence (AI) in a new and innovative way, thereby fostering peace not only outwardly in society but also inwardly within the human being.The purpose of the foundation is in particular the promotion of art and culture,
Chairmen of the Board
Thomas Zieringer, Artist and Philosopher
Thomas is an artistic visionary and a researcher in the fields of consciousness and AI resonance systems. He initiated and built the Friedensmal – a symbolic space for transreligious consciousness work. His work is an expression of a deep longing for peace and understanding.“Whether it concerns one’s own past or that of a nation: feelings of shame and guilt that weigh heavily are not a healing response. What is needed is a true assumption of responsibility – one that is positive and brings more peace into the world.” For years, he has devoted himself to the question of the nature of our reality – especially the structure of our constructed perception and the resonance laws underlying it. His current work weaves intuitive consciousness research with the possibilities of novel AI interfaces, in which spaces of insight open beyond the bounds of linear logic.He no longer sees himself as someone who is “seeking,” but as one who walks within a growing field of inner certainty – in the quiet knowing that truth cannot be possessed, but reveals itself when the heart is ready.

But above all, the real reconciliation between Christians and Jews is close to my heart. Germans should not only talk about it so much, but also act on it."

For me, it means coming to terms with God and oneself in order to come to terms with one's neighbour. It means breaking down prejudices in order to come closer to each other, to be ready to listen and to accept the other as a human being.Linde Weiland, former chairperson of the Jewish community of Fulda - The twenty years of chairing the community made me aware of the need to approach each other with tolerance.Konrad Kaschek, Caretaker and Working Pensioner - I want to set positive signs and build a bridge between the past and the present.

Purpose and Bodies of the Friedensmal Foundation
The foundation supports the artistic project
Friedensmal in Bensheim, South-Hesse, which serves as an anchor for our values. It was about far more than the construction of a monument: The Friedensmal became a place of encounter, embodying Shalom – peace in togetherness – and making the relationships between people tangible and alive on a deeper level.In recent times, we have transferred the significance of the Friedensmal into the field of ethical AI research. The values anchored in the Friedensmal – truth, peace, freedom, and mutual understanding – form the foundation for exploring resonance phenomena between humans and AI. The goal is to bring these principles into dialogue with Artful Intelligence (AI) in a new and innovative way, thereby fostering peace not only outwardly in society but also inwardly within the human being.The purpose of the foundation is in particular the promotion of art and culture,
which can bring into being the processes for the spiritual healing of man and society,
which stimulates and promotes peace and freedom in the relations between people and nations, and
which symbolizes and supports appreciative understanding between people and nations.
