The Siepmann Foundation is a family foundation for managing the assets of the trading company Aldi Süd . The foundation was established on October 19, 1973 by Karl Albrecht as a foundation under civil law . It is based in Eichenau in the Fürstenfeldbruck district in Upper Bavaria . Siepmann is the maiden name of Anna Albrecht, the mother of Karl Albrecht.

Foundation purpose

The purpose of the foundation is "to protect and promote the common interests of the members of the Albrecht family".

The foundation holds the total assets and trademark rights to Aldi Süd. The total assets of Aldi Süd include:
