What began as a personal conviction has since become both a mission and a responsibility: to promote education, strengthen science and research, support social and cultural projects, and contribute to the common good.

“It was important to her to make a difference through her actions.”

These words not only capture her legacy. They also remind us what sustainable commitment is really about: not what we achieve as individuals, but what we enable others to achieve.

100 years after her birth, this idea is more relevant than ever.

Her legacy continues through our work.

Dorothee Bürkert not only took on responsibility – she put it into practice: in her commitment to people, to the Hohenlohe region and to a future reaching far beyond her own lifetime. Her understanding of responsibility embraced the idea of contributing to society and creating opportunities. By establishing her foundation in 1978, she initiated a lasting commitment. Since 2024, her name has also been part of our foundation’s name: Christian and Dorothee Bürkert Foundation.
