The largest single donor was the billionaire, patron and art collector Heidi Goëss-Horten with a total of 931,000 euros.
Heidi Horten obviously placed a kind of standing order and donated 49,000 euros per month over the last 19 months. This resulted in a total of 588,000 euros in 2018 and 343,000 euros in 2019.
Threshold of 50,000 Euros
The transfer amount of 49,000 euros per month is notable. As is well known, the previous regulation was that donations of 50,000 euros or more had to be reported, but that the obligation to report to the Court of Audit could be avoided for transfers of less than 50,000 euros.
Further Large Donors
In 2nd to 5th place for 2019 are DDr. Peter Mitterbauer (€ 132,000), the IGO Industries GmbH of the Tyrolean property investor Klaus Ortner (€ 191,000), Dr. Rudolf Gürtler (€ 65,000) and Elisabeth Umdasch (€ 60,000).
