Ingeborg Gross
1931-2019
The great-grandfather Christian von Leins had designed the Königsbau in Stuttgart, two churches, a synagogue and the king's summer residence as an architect. But another ancestor had a decisive influence on her life: But another ancestor had a decisive influence on her life: Christoph Seilacher. In 1877, together with his brother-in-law Karl Schill, he had founded a chemical factory in Heilbronn for the production of process additives, something that the company still does 140 years after its foundation. Six years before the birth of Ingeborg Leins, the factory in Hamburg was built at the very place where it still stands today.
The grandfather bequeathed a riding horse and the company to the granddaughter. This proved to be a stroke of luck, because from then on Ingeborg Leins, who had been called Ingeborg Gross since 1953, had the reins firmly in her hand. Under her aegis, the Struktol Company of America and the factory in Pirna were established. For over 40 years she demonstrated exemplary leadership for the benefit of the company.
She has entrusted her life's work at both the foundation and management level to those who, according to her will, shall continue her life's work. Thus, the foundation is not only a legal entity, but also an obligation for a given promise.
