The wbg 2000 Foundation
Our foundation supports cultural, social and community projects that make Nuremberg attractive and worth living in.
We create living spaces and support great projects.
With the wbg 2000 Foundation, wbg Nürnberg GmbH is signalling its commitment to the City of Nuremberg and to the people who live and reside in this city. At the same time, it is a lasting demonstration of its social awareness as the largest housing enterprise in this city. The foundation’s work also expresses the company’s gratitude to its customers. Every year, between €50,000 and €100,000 flow into the foundation from wbg’s earnings.

The wbg 2000 Foundation in detail
The charitable foundation was established by wbg with a foundation deed dated 10 July 2000. The occasion was the 950th anniversary of the first documented mention of the City of Nuremberg. The wbg 2000 Foundation became legally capable with the approval certificate of the government of Middle Franconia, which Karl Inhofer, then District President of Middle Franconia (centre), presented to the two former managing directors Peter H. Richter (left) and Ernst Voigt on 14 July 2000. It is a public foundation under civil law.
The bodies of the foundation include the Foundation Advisory Board and the Foundation Board of Directors. The City of Nuremberg has the right to nominate up to five members for the Foundation Advisory Board. Two further members are appointed by the founder or her legal successor.
