Johann Peters (entrepreneur)
Johann Peters (born May 19, 1918 in Duisburg-Meiderich ; † April 20, 2002 in Weißach am Tegernsee) was a German entrepreneur.
Life
Peters began in 1946 with an idea for the vocational rehabilitation of war invalids. After serving at the front of World War II, he was wounded in the Mühldorf military hospital in 1946. He organized a workshop in which the war invalids repaired radio and electrical equipment.
As managing director of the local VdK district group, Johann Peters repaired equipment together with other war invalids, built apparatus and retrained some comrades in metal professions. The Uni-Nervenklinik Köln-Lindenthal obtained advice on paraplegics in 1959.
The president of the international association for the severely disabled thanked Johann Peters for his commitment. In 1960 Heinrich Lübke visited the BFZ Peters. In 1996, on the occasion of the company's 50th anniversary, Bernhard Jagoda , President of the Federal Employment Agency in Nuremberg, declared Peters a “role model in social Germany”.
Until the end of the 1980s he worked as a managing partner of the Peters vocational training center and built up the company. At the beginning of the 1990s he retired from the company for health reasons. His daughter and son joined the management in 1994 and continue his life's work.
Johann Peters was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit on Ribbon in 1977 , the Bavarian Order of Merit in 1980 , the Federal Cross of Merit First Class in 1983 and the Josef Kriegisch Medal of Honor of the SPD in 1993.
In 2003 the Johann Peters non-profit foundation company was founded in memory of the company's founder. It is responsible for the Kindergarten Center Kitz - a kindergarten with crèche - and organizer of the JP Olympics. This integration sports festival took place for the first time in 2003 in the European Year of People with Disabilities under the patronage of Christa Stewens in Waldkraiburg .
The Peters Bildungsgruppe had to file for bankruptcy in 2010. However, the Peters Bildungsgruppe was rescued by a planned insolvency in self-administration , which was successfully and quickly carried out by the managing directors Hacker and Klier with the support of a Dresden law firm specializing in insolvency cases. The execution of this bankruptcy is considered the fastest in Germany.
Endurance Capital is a partner in the education group, the majority shareholder has been the Quin Academy from Deggendorf since July 1, 2013.
