A brief history of The Rosemarie Foundation
Foundation
In 2004 The Rosemarie Foundation was founded by Franz W. and Claudia M. Schmadl.
A tradition of giving
During and after the First and the Second World War, members of the founders families, in particular William Graf, Honorary Citizen of the City of Konstanz, were donating and supporting significant means to families in Germany who fell victim to the war and helped to rebuild the country from the ruins of destruction. This tradition of giving, when means allowed for, was the key motivation to establish The Rosemarie Foundation.
