The Richard and Annemarie Wolf Foundation is an investment trust foundation. It directly holds all shares in Richard Wolf GmbH, a medical technology company, and indirectly holds shares in the current 18 domestic and overseas subsidiaries.
The Professional medical product portfolio is developed and manufactured for the relevant specialist disciplines of human medicine at the headquarters in Knittlingen. The entire product portfolio is marketed worldwide.



The foundation is charitable and the purpose of the foundation, is the promotion of medical science, in particular those specialist areas that work with endoscopes. In addition, the foundation exercises statutory shareholder rights as they are subject to the stipulation of the foundation as the sole shareholder. The Board of the Foundation is therefore responsible for auditing, monitoring and advising the management. The constructive consultancy tasks are governed by the personnel-oriented and socially acceptable implementation of a qualified growth trajectory for the RICHARD WOLF group of companies.
The five current members of the foundation board are predominantly committed to preserving the assets of the foundation. By complying with this obligation, the foundation board takes responsibility of the founder's intentions in terms of how it is comprised.
The Board of the Foundation is solely responsible for managing the assets, in addition, responsible for the strategic direction of the RICHARD WOLF Group as a globally active organization.

Funding can be requested for projects that advance medicine, in particular the disciplines in which endoscopy is used. At its regular review meetings, the Foundation Board approves applications after checking their feasibility. If you have any questions about applying for funding, please contact Ms. Anke Müller. Applicants are asked to send their funding applications to the foundation office electronically where possible.
