— Brunhilde Moll Foundation
— Mission and Vision
Established in 2020 by Brunhilde Moll, the charitable foundation aims to support and sustain artistic and scientific endeavors. It focuses on nurturing emerging talents in the arts and fostering research that bridges the gap between art and neuroscience.
The founder is Brunhilde Moll, daughter of Adelbert Moll, who opened a car dealership in Düsseldorf-Derendorf in 1932. This later gave rise to the Adelbert Moll car dealership and the Moll Group. Brunhilde Moll has worked in all departments of the family business and has been an active managing director of Moll Group companies for many years.
The foundation uses the income it receives exclusively for charitable purposes and supports projects in the areas of art and culture as well as science and research in the field of brain research as defined in the articles of association.
— Historic Location
The foundation is headquartered at Drakeplatz 4 in Düsseldorf-Oberkassel, a site steeped in artistic heritage. This historic atelier house once served as the residence and workspace of renowned artist Joseph Beuys. By situating itself in this culturally significant location, the foundation honors the legacy of its former inhabitants and continues the tradition of artistic exploration.
“Due to its eventful history, Haus am Drakeplatz 4 is the perfect place to create a space for exploring the major themes of art and the world in the heart of Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, the German state with the most important art scene.”
