In 1993, Else Heiliger passed away at the age of 91 years. Ten years before she had already
decided to name the Konrad-Adenauer-Foundation (KAS) the sole heir of her personal assets,
in order to support especially gifted and needy artists. The KAS has fulfilled the mission
by investing the process from the sale of the estate in special assets and by setting
up a special fund, which was named after the donor: Else Heiliger Fund (EHF). Ever since
the first scholarships were awarded to artists in 1994, the three letters have become a hallmark
of distinction. Else Heiliger decreed a speedy charitable use of her assets. In order
to continue the prestigious scholarship programme and to keep the idea of civic support
for the arts alive, the Trustee-Program EHF 2010 was established. The programm kick-off
was accompanied by a brillant exhibition showcasing 45 former scholarship-holders. The
show was sold out during the opening night.
We are proud to present the scholarship-holders 2007. Among them: Ruprecht von
Kaufmann, Michael Just, Oliver van den Berg, Adrian Sauer, Natalie Czech and Matthäus
Thoma.
