AWARDS AND HONORS
2022 – Staufer Medal
The ProKids boss is the first Schwenningen resident to be awarded this exclusive medal. The entrepreneur works tirelessly for his foundation. His baby hatch has already saved five young lives.
When he realized that not every family in this country could afford a hot school meal for their child, Joachim Spitz took action. He collected donations, tied an apron on himself with the then-mayor Dr. Rupert Kubon, and cooked spaghetti at the kindergarten. That was almost 15 years ago.
Now the energetic Schwenningen entrepreneur has received one of the highest awards in the state of Baden-Württemberg for his commitment – the Staufer Medal.
