Life

Cäcilie Albrecht led a very withdrawn life, about which little reached the outside world. Albrecht was considered a public shy and has never given an interview. She was the widow of Aldi-Nord founder Theo Albrecht . She had great influence on the corporate empire through sharing control over two of the three foundations that Aldi-Nord owned with her son Theo Albrecht junior . The third foundation, called the "Jakob" foundation, was under the control of her second son, Berthold Albrecht , who died in 2012.

Cäcilie Albrecht herself died in November 2018. According to press reports, she accused the widow of her son Berthold, Babette Albrecht and their five children in her will for having misappropriated significant funds from the "Jakob" foundation. According to the report, she instructed in her will that none of them should have a future in the group.
