Edith-Haberland-Wagner-Stiftung, Philanthropic foundation in Munich, Germany.
The Edith-Haberland-Wagner Foundation is a philanthropic organization in Munich operating across social welfare, education, science, and cultural preservation. It also owns and oversees Augustiner-Bräu München, a private brewery that continues its traditional operations.
The foundation was established in 1996 and acquired ownership of Augustiner-Bräu München brewery at that time. Since then it has maintained the brewery as a private enterprise while expanding its charitable work.
The foundation provides financial backing to museums and art institutions throughout Munich. Visitors can experience exhibitions in supported venues like the Pinakothek der Moderne, where collections are preserved and displayed thanks to this support.
The foundation is not designed as a visitor attraction, but its offices are located at Bavariapark in Munich. Organizations interested in funding can apply if their projects align with the foundation's charitable goals.
The foundation combines two very different areas: it supports charitable projects while also operating a brewery that has produced beer using traditional methods for generations. This blend of business and philanthropy is unusual for private foundations.
