Helmut Fischer Foundation

Shaping the future means investing in the future.

"Nothing is done while anything remains to do."

C. F. Gauss

The entrepreneur Helmut Fischer did this by transferring his entire company assets to a charitable foundation: at his personal request, for the benefit of the community. He was convinced that the fields of science, research, education and art are not only the pillars of our society, but that they should be made accessible to everyone and given special support. Not least by those who have sufficient means to do so.

From supporting the "Jugend forscht" competition to promoting special university professorships and preserving works of art: The foundation is involved in a wide variety of areas. This unusual, interdisciplinary dimension creates valuable bridges between business and culture, science and the humanities, technology and art - between today and tomorrow.
