August 14, 2025 Dogs welcome! - Our evening with HUNDERUNDE at The Zipper Hotel & Apartments Düsseldorf
Guest at The Zipper: HUNDERUNDE
At The Zipper Hotel & Apartments, we believe that hospitality doesn't end with people. We also welcome four-legged friends - and that's exactly what we recently celebrated together with HUNDERUNDE.
Our community event "HOSPITALITY X The Zipper Hotel & Apartments X Hunderunde" brought together industries that are different at first glance, but have one thing in common: genuine passion and the desire to give people (and dogs) special experiences.
An evening with a vision - in the heart of Düsseldorf
We welcomed the founders of Hunderunde, Fabio Lehnert and Luis Kesten, together with their investor Nils Glagau, known from "Die Höhle der Löwen", in our Community Space on the 13th floor with a breathtaking view over the Düsseldorf skyline.
It wasn't a classic networking event.
It was an evening to pause, celebrate, exchange ideas - and to say thank you. Thank you to partners, supporters, guests and to a community that is working together to create a better future.
The story behind HUNDERUNDE
Hunderunde is more than a company - it's a movement. Founded in 2018 by Fabio and Luis, who have known each other since their school days, Hunderunde combines animal welfare and entrepreneurship.
Their motivation: to reduce the suffering of street dogs in Europe, to support projects and to accompany dog owners with products that make everyday life with dogs more beautiful.
Since its foundation, Hunderunde has donated over €200,000 to animal welfare projects. 5% of the net proceeds go directly to aid projects - from food donations and neutering campaigns to medical care.
Their vision: "When many people do small things, something big is created."
