For the Würth Group and the Würth Foundation, assuming responsibility means protecting the livelihoods of present and future generations. With their unrivaled commitment to art and culture, social issues and education, teaching and research, integration, and sports in both its own projects and in cooperative ventures, the Würth Group and the Würth Foundation have been working for decades for the common good and toward a sustainable society, both nationally and internationally.
The Würth Group contributes to a vibrant cultural landscape and is dedicated to social well-being. For instance, the Group runs five museums in the Hohenlohe region and ten associated galleries across Europe, which display international works of art, mainly from the Würth Collection. Admission is free. The Würth Group is committed to helping people with disabilities. Hotel-Restaurant Anne-Sophie and the Special Olympics are just two examples of this commitment. The Würth Group is committed to ensuring that future generations can also enjoy a good life on our planet. The Group has defined three fields of transformation on its path toward a circular economy: climate neutrality, material life cycles, and social standards.
Prof. Dr. h. c. mult. Reinhold and Carmen Würth established the Würth Foundation in 1987. It is a civil law foundation based in Künzelsau, Germany, and promotes charitable and benevolent causes. The Würth Foundation promotes projects in the fields of art and culture, training and education, and research and science—mainly in the Hohenlohe region, where the Würth Group’s headquarters are located. The foundation also supports projects for the integration of people with disabilities. The activities of the Würth Foundation are promoted by the German Würth Group, in particular by Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG.
In the field of art and culture, the Würth Foundation supports various activities. In addition to cultural institutions, the Würth Foundation promotes artists by awarding prizes and scholarships to them.
The focus of the Music Festival of the Würth Foundation, initiated by Carmen Würth in 2013, is to bring together people with and without disabilities.
The Würth Foundation is also committed to education, supporting in particular the Freie Schule Anne-Sophie schools in Künzelsau and Berlin and the Competence Center for Economic Education Baden-Württemberg.
