The DUKKS Foundation
The DUKKS Foundation (Daniel Ullrich Koetter Knight Schilling Foundation) was founded in April 2018 by Susanne Koetter-Schilling, Nina Ullrich and Joerg Schilling in memory of Daniel Ullrich-Koetter- son, brother and step-son of the founding members.
Daniel was murdered in the early morning of the 14 October 2017 near Kloof Street when he was helping two women who were getting mugged. He followed the criminal who stole a cellphone, got stabbed fatally and died on the scene. Daniel was only 25 years old.
It was a shock to the community and it is surreal to this day. Daniel’s friends are calling him a hero because he gave up his life to help others.

DUKKS Foundation Agenda
- The DUKKS foundation wants to honor Daniel’s civil courage and the special person he was. He always put his friends and others first.
- The foundation’s goal is to support as many charity projects as possible which help children, teenagers and young adults coming from underprivileged families where violence, drug addiction, and poverty make it difficult for them to stay on the right track.

- The DUKKS Foundation focuses on helping charity institutions who are taking care of children, teenagers and young adults to not end end up on the street like Daniel’s perpetrator.
