Completed projects

 

  • Renovation of lecture halls 201 and 202
    The WWG supported the School in its renovation of lecture halls 201 and 202 and was able to provide crucial momentum for initiating construction by raising private funds. We are now very proud of the results. Further infrastructure projects will have to be pursued in the future and we warmly welcome donations.
  • The Chapel of the Holy Spirit
    Restoring the Chapel of the Holy Spirit (Heilig-Geist-Kapelle) was a particular concern of the WWG. We were able to completely restore this medieval gem and begin using it for special occasions in the life of the School with just half of the necessary investment. The generous donations pledged - from Deutsche Bank AG, Cornelsen Kulturstiftung, Klaus and Dr. Pia Krone from the WWG´s circle of members - totalling 4 million DM made the inauguration of the chapel possible in 2005. We warmly welcome donations.
  • Alumni work
    Another priority of the WWG is supporting the School´s alumni work. This includes, in particular, the mentoring programme in which the alumni and WWG members act as mentors for students. Click here to visit the alumni network.

Other projects

 

  • Integrating foreign students
    The WWG supports initiatives for integrating foreign students organised by the International Office of the School of Business and Economics.
  • Public relations
    The WWG supports the public relations work of the School and initiates events that stimulate the exchange of ideas between economics and business practice.
  • International level
    The WWG supports the School´s public image on an international level. It promotes academic events and exchanges.
