Edith Haberland Wagner Foundation

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Edith Haberland Wagner Foundation was set up together with the then managing director of Augustiner Bräu Wagner KG, Ferdinand Schmid by Edith Haberland-Wagner (1899–1996), who bequeathed her assets to the foundation after her death in 1996. The organization, with its headquarters in Munich , Theresienhöhe 14, manages its assets in the form of a GmbH and subsidiaries .

Founder

Edith Haberland or Haberland-Wagner, was the daughter of Max Wagner. It is known that she lived in Murnau am Staffelsee and painted landscapes and made music with passion . For example, the Werdenfelser Künstlerlexikon names a solo exhibition in Garmisch 1977/78.

After her father died in 1941, as heiress to Augustiner-Bräu , she renounced the management of the brewery in favor of her cousin Rudolf (1908–1981). He converted the brewery into a limited partnership and, since it was childless, left it to a community of heirs consisting of Edith Haberland and other cousins ​​and cousins ​​living in Bavaria, Austria and North America, the descendants of the sisters of Max and Richard Wagner (1864–1961) and Rudolf's father. Haberland inherited 50 percent of the brewery.

As a descendant of the Wagner dynasty which also childless Edith Haberland inherited on the advice of the manager Ferdinand Schmid their share of the brewery to which she founded Foundation, which to this day has in his will established just over 50 percent at the Augustiner Brau Wagner KG.

Foundation chair

In her will, Edith Haberland-Wagner established Ferdinand Schmid as the foundation's director for life. Furthermore, that he may personally appoint his successor. Before his death, he appointed Paris-born Catherine Demeter as his successor, a descendant of the Wagner family, which has been the foundation director since December 2013 and who owns shares in Augustiner-Bräu Wagner KG. The second member of the board is Martin Liebhäuser, previously Max Emanuel Herzog held this position in Bavaria .

Act

The primary goal was to maintain the brewery as a private company and to prevent it from being taken over and broken up by larger brewery groups. The foundation now holds just over 50 percent of the brewery's shares. Half of the company's profit therefore goes to the foundation.

The foundation is involved in the areas of youth protection , international understanding and cultural promotion and finances a lot more, especially in the Munich area. One of Schmid's preferences was to renovate listed restaurants in Bavaria and Austria true to the original and to support the restoration of churches. For example, the foundation in Munich bought and renovated the old congress hall , acquired and renovated the community center at Sterneckerstraße 2, whose history dates back to 1327, and opened the beer and Oktoberfest museum there . The Wirtshaus am Bavariapark , Asam-Schlössl , Bräustüberl on Landsberger Straße, Gasthaus Isarthor , Burg Pappenheim , Görreshof , Bratwurstglöckl , Haidhauser Augustiner , Sendlinger Augustiner or Zwingereck in Rumfordstraße were extensively renovated said restored. The restoration of the old Peter received financial support. The foundation financed the purchase of a collection of historical veterinary instruments for the veterinary faculty of the Ludwig Maximilians University . The foundation has a non-profit GmbH based in Salzburg that supports similar projects in Austria .
