Event of the Deutsche Nationalstiftung

“The Mittelstand as a part of German Identity” – was the focus of the event held by the Deutsche Nationalstiftung on January 26th 2016. About 160 business representatives accepted the invitation and attended the event in Cologne. Prof. Dr. Klaus Schweinsberg moderated the panel with Dr. Patrick Adenauer, Prof. Dr. Richard Schröder, Prof. Dr. Hermann Simon and Dr. Dirk Janßen. The panel centred on the challenges and opportunities facing the German Mittelstand today and its unique position in the world. Against the background of the German Reunification, the Deutsche Nationalstiftung was founded among others by former German Chancellor Helmut Schmidt. The non-partisan and non-profit organisation aims to promote the political culture of Germany within the European Union and to provide a forum for discussion and comment on the pressing questions facing Germany today and in the future.
