Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation

The Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation aims to promote science. The foundation was established in 1958 on the initiative of entrepreneur Ernst von Siemens. The managing director was the philosopher Heinrich Meier until March 2022. In the summer semester of 2022, the literary scholar Marcel Lepper took over the management. Since February 22, 2023, the foundation has been temporarily managed by Carola Schütt, who previously held the commercial management. Armin Mohler, who popularized the concept of the conservative revolution, chaired the foundation for many years from 1964 to 1985, making the foundation a central place for the “New Right” of the time.
