The Stapferhaus Lenzburg was founded in 1960 by Pro Helvetia , Pro Argovia , the Lenzburg Castle Foundation and the New Helvetic Society as a place of encounter and intellectual debate. Today the institution is mainly financed by the canton of Aargau , the Swiss cultural foundation Pro Helvetia and the city of Lenzburg . Private foundations, benefactors and sponsors provide project-related support. The Stapferhaus works at the interface between culture and science and addresses a broad audience with its work.
The Stapferhaus was managed by Martin Meyer until 1991 and by Hans Ulrich Glarner from 1992 to 2002. From 2002 to 2011 it was run jointly by Beat Hächler and Sibylle Lichtensteiger. Sibylle Lichtensteiger has been the manager of the Stapferhaus since 2011.
