history
The "Society for Foreign Customers", whose founders were all Bavarian origins, campaigned in the days of the Weimar Republic with a focus on Berlin for peace and understanding among peoples. “The company”, stated the founders at the time, “wants to make it its business to resume the study of international developments, especially those of international law, (and) includes a group of particularly interested personalities on a strictly non-partisan basis. The company makes the results of its studies available to the public and thus promotes the idea of international understanding and cooperation ”.
The society organizes lectures, panel discussions and conferences for its members and guests. In addition to membership fees and donations, it is borne by the Bavarian State Government and the Foreign Office in Berlin.
The chairman of the company is Max Scharinger . Further members of the board are Marie-Janine Calic , Werner Weidenfeld , Rainer Stinner and Vigdis Nipperdey .
Former chairmen of the Society for Foreign Policy were Horst Mahr and Gottfried-Karl Kindermann .
The company is based in the America House in Munich.
Well-known guest speakers were Henry Kissinger , Otto Habsburg , Michail Sergejewitsch Gorbatschow , Giovanni Agnelli , Karel Schwarzenberg , Helmut Schmidt , Frank-Walter Steinmeier , Hans-Dietrich Genscher , David Owen .
In 2005 the “Junge Forum” was founded as a place of exchange and encounter for students and graduates who would like to deal more closely with the development of international relations. Guest speakers at the Junge Forum included Minister of State Niels Annen , Ambassador Christoph Heusgen , Claus Kleber and John B. Emerson .
