Beisheim Holding GmbH
Beisheim Holding GmbH was established in 1997 to manage assets of the Beisheim family. Otto Beisheim founded the family’s original retail operations that later became METRO AG. The firm executes direct co-investments and SPVs across public and private markets in Europe. Confirmed holdings include stakes in METRO AG held jointly with Palatin Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH and EP Global Commerce GmbH. Additional positions exist in CECONOMY AG alongside Haniel Finance Deutschland GmbH and freenet AG. Geographic reach centers on Switzerland and Germany. Team size and total deployment remain undisclosed. The firm maintains membership in the Zuger Wirtschaftskammer. Philanthropic vehicles include the Prof. Otto Beisheim Foundation and the WHU Foundation, with Dr. Toni Calabretti serving as chair of the latter since 2013. Governance ties link the family office directly to the Prof. Otto Beisheim Stiftung, creating a succession and grant-making structure that separates operating investments from foundation assets.
