The Academy of German Cooperatives ( ADG ) is the nationwide management academy for cooperative banks and companies in Germany. The company is based in Schloss Montabaur .

history

The beginnings of the cooperative education system go back to the founding personalities of the modern cooperative system, Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen (1818–1888) and Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch (1808–1883).

Predecessor institutes of the ADG were the Schulze-Delitzsch-Institut eV (founded 1975) and the Bundesgenossenschaftsschule - Raiffeisen - eV (founded 1970), which merged on July 1, 1978 to form the Academy of German Cooperatives. From 1970 the seat of both institutes was Montabaur Castle.

ADG is a provider of management and qualification programs, university courses, seminars, workshops, forums, webinars and bank-specific solutions. The target group are board members, executives and specialists from cooperative banks or companies. In 2018, the ADG held around 1,500 events with more than 21,000 participants.

On behalf of the cooperative auditing associations in Germany, the nationwide training courses for association auditors (VPL) are also carried out by the ADG at Schloss Montabaur. In addition, she takes on the coordination of the joint educational activities of the cooperative academies in Germany as well as the management in the association committees of the educational sector at national level.

Internationally, as a cooperative partner, ADG is responsible for the implementation of concepts and training courses as well as the organization of study tours and measures for the further development of cooperative educational institutions. On behalf of development organizations such as the German Society for International Cooperation or individual financial institutions, she carries out training and consulting projects worldwide.

The ADG is a registered association and has the following organs: General Assembly, Administrative Board / Supervisory Board and Management Board. It also has two specialist councils: the specialist council for banks and the specialist council for goods. The board of directors runs the ADG and consists of Yvonne Zimmermann (chairwoman) and Peter Rausch.

ADG is part of the cooperative association with more than 5,600 cooperative banks and companies with over 19 million cooperative members in Germany.
