Therese Danner , b. Therese Brunner (born August 18, 1861 in Oberndorf, Pilsting , † June 11, 1934 in Munich ), was a German patron of the arts and founder of the Danner Foundation .

Life

Therese Danner was born in Oberndorf on the outskirts of Pilsting near Straubing as the daughter of a brewery owner. In 1884 she married the wealthy Munich entrepreneur Benno Danner (1857–1917).

After the death of her husband, the childless widow initially thought of using the inherited assets to continue her charitable work. Mainly at the suggestion of Karl Rothmüller (1860–1930), a royal Bavarian court goldsmith and main representative of the then flourishing Munich jewelery art , she founded the Benno and Therese Danner'sche Kunstgewerbestiftung on June 9, 1920 in memory of her husband , which gained increasing importance in the arts and crafts and is known today primarily as the Danner Foundation . The original capital of the foundation comprised the considerable sum of 1.7 million marks in the form of securities , mortgages (rights to third-party real estate) and land . In the first few years of the foundation, Therese Danner was still actively involved in the foundation's activities.
