Alfried Krupp Institute for Advanced Study

[1] On 20 June 2000, this institute was founded by the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation, the German Land (federal state) of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the University of Greifswald.These three founders (represented respectively, by Berthold Beitz, Peter Kauffold and Jürgen Kohler[2]) co-established and contributed to the Stiftung Alfried Krupp Kolleg Greifswald (Alfried Krupp Kolleg Greifswald Foundation),[3][4] which was entrusted with the task of establishing this Wissenschaftskolleg (institute for advanced study).Krupp was convicted after World War II of crimes against humanity for the genocidal manner in which he operated his factories; served three years in prison, and was pardoned, but not acquitted.[9][10] Krupp used almost 100,000 slave labourers, housed in abhorrent conditions where disease, hunger and dehydration was common.[12] Alfried Krupp never admitted wrongdoing and he nor the institute have ever apologised for his crimes.
