Our Team
Change requires work. Friederike, Janna and Julia support Die Gemeinschaft and provide constant exchange among our members, the board – and of course with you. They organize the topics and goals we put together with our members and our board; the communication that generates awareness; and the resources to make it all happen. Without the four of them, there would be common ground, but no community.
FRIEDERIKE GAEDKE
Frieda has been with Die Gemeinschaft from the very beginning, helping to pave the way for the organisation. Drawing on her background in gastronomic sciences, she aims to bring together people who, like her, are working towards a resilient, sustainable and enjoyable food culture. To this end, she develops content and events, acts as a point of contact for members, represents the association externally and discusses these issues – preferably over a slice of butter cake.
JANNA JUNG-IRRGANG
Janna often wonders what is still considered ‘normal’ in food systems and works with her hands, her mind and many others to develop alternatives. She brings to this work academic insights ranging from social sciences to agricultural sciences, as well as experience gained on farms and in gardens, in community kitchens and through street campaigns. At Die Gemeinschaft, Janna is on hand to help with funding and financing issues, as well as questions regarding strategy, members and utopian visions.
JULIA KLINK
Julia loves being active on social media and, since 2024, has been actively involved with Die Gemeinschaft in shaping the food value chain of the future. With a background in sociology, theatre and media studies, and urban design, she approaches the food system from a variety of perspectives and applies her interdisciplinary approach particularly in the areas of communication and events.
