Esche Schümann Commichau Foundation
Since 1997, the Esche Schümann Commichau Foundation has been committed to promoting young talent in the fields of law and economics. As part of this initiative, six outstanding academic works – including dissertations, postdoctoral theses, and master's theses – are awarded the prestigious sponsorship prize each year. Since its inception, the foundation has supported over 100 award winners with prizes totaling more than EUR 150.000. The foundation was established on the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the Esche Schümann Commichau law firm and represents our long-standing commitment to education and science.
