FOUNDATION
The married couple Karin Maria Seeburger and Johannes Hubertus Michels established the Ludwig Seeburger Stiftung in 2020 in the legal form of an unregistered association.
The registered office of the corporation, which is recognized as a non-profit organization, is located in Maulbronn.

The Latin words “Porta patet, cor magis” are meaningful guiding principles of the Ludwig Seeburger Stiftung in the implementation of its goals: “The door stands open, the heart more so.”
