"In the service of democracy, peace and development", the Hanns Seidel Foundation carries out political education work at home and abroad on the basis of a Christian worldview. Founded in 1967, the CSU-affiliated Hanns Seidel Foundation is a political foundation that carries out political education work at home and abroad on the basis of a Christian worldview. It is named after the former Bavarian Prime Minister and CSU Chairman Hanns Seidel. With its specialized departments, it is active in the areas of political consulting, political education, promotion of gifted students and in development cooperation with approximately 90 projects in around 60 countries worldwide.

Good text - especially on the Internet - thrives on clear visual structure. Image elements or color-coded text passages facilitate readability and thus increase the chance that the message and content will be optimally perceived by the recipient. With the relaunch, the +Pluswerk team therefore tackled a truly mammoth task and transferred all the content of the existing site into a new, optimized structure. Attractive landing pages whet the visitor's appetite for more and draw him into the website. And so that they don't get lost there, despite the sheer unmanageable flood of information, Solr technology ensures that the content they are looking for appears on the screen in a fraction of a second.

The web special fjs.de, which pays tribute to the politician Franz Josef Strauß and his estate and interactively documents his travels in a "historically correct" Google Maps view from 1980, is created on the same technical basis.
