Sabine Schöck
1937 - 2025

Together with her family, we mourn the loss of our long-standing Deputy Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees Sabine Schöck, who passed away on July 10, 2025 at the age of 87.

Sabine Schöck played a key role in shaping the work of our foundation from the very beginning.

International understanding was very close to her heart and her commitment to the people from Eastern Europe who were our guests was characterized by great humanity and warmth.

Sabine Schöck's impulses will always be part of our work.
