As a native of Siegburg who began his career in the real estate industry in Bonn, I enjoyed attending an event in the former German capital this week. Developer Dr. Ronald Münzer and the Association of Catholic Entrepreneurs (BKU), represented by Art Invest founder Dr. Rüdiger von Stengel, had guests at the Bonn Real Estate Lounge. In addition to an intensive professional exchange, the focus was also on supporting the Förderkreis für krebskranke Kinder und Jugendliche Bonn e. V. (support group for children and young people with cancer in Bonn).
The venue was the Art-Invest Landmark “Neuer Kanzlerplatz” in the former government district, which Union Investment has since acquired.
Highlights of the event
Presentation: Association of Catholic Entrepreneurs (BKU)
The BKU combines the principles of the social market economy with Catholic social doctrine. In his speech, Dr. Rüdiger von Stengel, Chairman of the BKU diocesan group in Bonn and founder of Art-Invest, emphasized the importance of these values for sustainable entrepreneurial activity.
Introduction: Förderkreis für krebskranke Kinder und Jugendliche Bonn e. V.
This non-profit organization is financed exclusively by donations and membership fees. The support of the organization, in which Dr. Ronald Münzer and his family are involved, was a central component of the event. By supporting children and young people with cancer, a strong signal of social commitment was set.
