PRO PONO

I am also chairman of Lebensherbst e.V., an association that helps senior citizens. I invite you to have a look at our association’s website and would be grateful if you were then to support us in achieving our charitable goals.

I was also appointed Senator of the Senate of Economy in January 2014.

The Senate of Economy is made up of figures from the domains of business, science and society who attach special importance to their responsibility towards the state and society as a whole. Together, they work towards the practical realization of sustainable public welfare goals for the purposes of an eco-social market economy. 

The Senate of Economy thus serves to revive the traditional spirit of the Senate from antiquity. A well-rounded circle of independent thinkers works for the common good rather than merely private interests. 

The Senate of Economy is an organization focused purely on the common good and maintains an ongoing dialog with prominent figures in the spheres of politics and science.
