from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jens Mittelsten Scheid (* 1941 ) is a German patron .

Mittelsten Scheid grew up in Wuppertal in a Calvinist entrepreneurial family. His father was an engineer, his mother a physiotherapist. After graduating from high school and doing an internship in his parents' company Vorwerk , he studied philosophy, sociology and politics in Heidelberg and Munich and worked as a social pedagogue in a Protestant church in Munich. He broke off a doctorate he had started with Reinhard Lauth .

In 1982 he founded the research company "anstiftung". Mittelsten Scheid supported the Öko-Institut in Freiburg and the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel am See .

His parents founded the “ertomis” foundation (focus on Nazi research , architecture and medicine). After the death of his parents, Scheid merged “anstiftung” and “ertomis” into one foundation. The aim of this is to enable people to discover their skills and to create spaces “in which the individual not only has an eye on his account, but also his neighbors and his own creativity” (Scheid). Since 2017 it has appeared again under the name anstiftung (foundation) , now in the form of a non-profit foundation under civil law.

In May 2010 he was awarded the German Foundation Prize of the Association of German Foundations in Frankfurt .
