Götz Hans Erich Dotter

The Hans Erich and Marie Elfriede Dotter Foundation is publishing this book to mark the anniversary of the Goldwell company founder ¿ Hans Erich Dotter would have turned 100 on 12 ¿February 2020. The impressive work of the successful entrepreneur is brought to life here with the help of a wealth of contemporary witnesses. For Hans Erich Dotter, being an entrepreneur and doing good were not contradictory. One was conditional on the other. The fact that he was able to give so much back to his beloved Darmstadt-Eberstadt at the end of his life, he regarded as the crowning achievement of his many years of hard work, during which he also experienced a great deal of support. Hans Erich Dotter was strong because he allowed others to be strong. The fact that he established a large foundation together with his first wife Marie Elfriede at the end of his life reflects another facet of the entrepreneur: he was not only an entrepreneur and visionary, but also a great humanitarian.
