On December 8, 2023, the Federal Cross of Merit was presented to our Supervisory Board Chairman Prof. Rolf Schnellecke in the Gartensaal of Wolfsburg Castle.
“His long standing commitment has significantly shaped our foundation landscape and strengthened social cohesion in our city,” emphasizes Wolfsburg’s Lord Mayor Dennis Weilmann, highlighting the well deserved award.
As a founding member of the Margarete Schnellecke Foundation, which is active in senior and youth work, Prof. Schnellecke is particularly committed to supporting people who are economically and medically disadvantaged. In addition to his voluntary work, he was also honored as an entrepreneur and a politician in the city of Wolfsburg.
Regarding the award of the Federal Cross of Merit, Prof. Schnellecke says: “Even in later years, people are happy to receive recognition and appreciation for their achievements.” We extend our warmest congratulations and are pleased that at Schnellecke, entrepreneurial responsibility is not an empty phrase but lived practice.
