The Founder
The Dräger Foundation was inaugurated in 1974 by Heinrich Dräger (1898–1986). During the almost 60 years of his entrepreneurial commitment at the head of Drägerwerk from 1928 until 1986 Heinrich Dräger was always prepared to accept social responsibility. As an economic and social scientist he was particularly interested in the most important contemporary problems, e. g. employment policy, property policy, sustainability of the ecological balance and especially development and population policy.

The population explosion in many developing countries and the global environmental threat for which the industrial nations are largely responsible are the really decisive challenges of the 21st century. Heinrich Dräger, who headed the Dräger Foundation until his death in 1986, showed its way and set the course for its activities beyond his death. His manifold publications prove the intensity of his devotion to fundamental economic and social problems.

The Dräger Foundation is a non-profit institution organized under civil law in accordance with the Bavarian Foundations Act. It pursues exclusively and directly non-profit ends. The capital of the Foundation amounts to about 7.7 million EUR.
