The Björn Steiger Foundation (Björn Steiger Stiftung) is a German charity which assists in providing funding for emergency services, and rescue organisations.^[1] It is named after a 8-year-old child, Björn Steiger, who died in 1969 after being hit by a car whilst returning home from a communal swimming pool. Despite several calls to emergency services it took nearly one hour until paramedics arrived. Björn Steiger died from shock on the way to the hospital.^[2] Shortly after this incident, his parents, Siegfried and Ute Steiger, set up the foundation in his memory.^[3]^[4]
