Donor Wall

Generous support deserves visible recognition. For this reason, the University of Mannheim Foundation has established a Donor Wall in the east wing of Mannheim Palace – a lasting symbol of gratitude to all those whose contributions play a vital role in shaping the future of our university.

Located on the mezzanine level of the historic palace, the Donor Wall showcases the wide-ranging commitment of companies, institutions, alumni, and friends of the University of Mannheim. It is more than just a design feature – it represents a vibrant culture of giving and a strong network that sustainably supports the university’s development.

The Donor Wall was officially inaugurated on November 30, 2018, in a festive ceremony. Invited guests, donors, and university representatives came together to celebrate its unveiling. Since then, the wall has continued to grow – with every new donation that supports teaching, research, and young talent.

With the Donor Wall, the Foundation not only expresses its gratitude but also fosters transparency and inspiration: it demonstrates the tangible impact of individual and institutional contributions – and invites others to join in supporting the future of the University of Mannheim.

Become part of this community and support the University of Mannheim Foundation. Your name could soon be displayed on our Donor Wall.


New names on the donor wall – a sign of ongoing support

The University of Mannheim Foundation is pleased to announce that new names have recently been added to the Donors' Wall. This means that the wall continues to grow – a welcome sign of the ongoing commitment to our university.

One of the newly added sponsors is Dr. Christoph Bühler, who has been supporting the University of Mannheim in many ways for many years. As a long-standing supporter, the promotion of science and academic excellence is particularly close to his heart. With his latest generous donation, he is sending another strong signal of his commitment.

During a joint photo session with Rector Prof. Dr. Thomas , Dr. Bühler proudly posed in front of the donor wall – a moment that symbolizes not only gratitude, but also a close, long-standing partnership between donors and the university.

However, our gratitude is not limited to the donors who are now openly visible. All those who support us quietly and often anonymously – whether with large or small amounts – also contribute significantly to the success of the foundation and the university.

Do you want your name to appear on the donor wall, too? Feel free to contact us.
