Almost three decades ago, Zander discovered the precarious living conditions at Zoo station and decided to help the needy - a step that made him a symbol of social responsibility in Berlin. This year he donated an additional 30,000 euros to Caritas to support Food Trucks, who spend warm meals for needy every day. He and the Diakonie not only offer food every Christmas, but also gifts and a warm atmosphere that is a highlight of the year for many.

The Christmas party brought a smile on many faces, and despite the difficult circumstances, the participants were able to enjoy Zander's warm hugs and the gifts collected. "This is Christmas for me," said Zander, who also held joy and gratitude through the encounters with the guests.
