Foundation.
Kunsthalle Hochschwarzwald.
The Kunsthalle Hochschwarzwald Foundation was established by the heirs of Prof. Dr. med. Hermann Heimpel, born on 29.09.1930 in Freiburg. The foundation's purpose is the promotion of art and culture. This purpose is in particular realised through the organisation of art exhibitions and events in the field of art and culture, the acquisition of works of art, the granting of scholarships and the awarding of a cultural prize. The foundation is based at Säge 6, 79695 Wieden.
A foundation endowment of €150,000 is available to fulfill this purpose, which according to the statutes is to be spent to achieve the foundation’s purpose within ten years.
The foundation has a single governing body: a board composed of three members:
• Tobias Heimpel (Chair)
• Susanne Heimpel
• Tobias Soldner
