The year 2018 marks the 200th birthday of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen. This year, IRU – International Raiffeisen Union celebrates its 50th anniversary. On this occasion, a documentary film about Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen was realized in close cooperation with the Austrian Raiffeisen Association (ÖRV) and DGRV – German Cooperative and Raiffeisen Confederation and was supported by further IRU member organizations.
7 Minutes Preview:
The 45-minute Raiffeisen documentary takes a closer look at Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen – not only as a social reformer and as one of the founders of the cooperative idea in Germany, but also as mayor, father and person.
His story is told from the perspective of his eldest daughter Amalie, who was also his employee and lifelong support. Without her, he would not have been able to carry out his life’s work – but at a high price: At Raiffeisen’s request, Amalie devoted her life entirely to her father’s work and had to renounce her own marriage and children.
A contemporary view of cooperatives is given amongst others by interview partners from the historical field as well as from the cooperative organizations in the German-speaking area.
The film was produced by the Inspiris Haschek Film GmbH from Vienna. It is directed by Mena Scheuba-Tempfer. In addition to the IRU, who is co-producer of the film, the broadcasters ORF III, SRF and Rai Südtirol are also involved in the production.
Besides ÖRV and DGRV also the IRU member organizations Cera (Belgium), Crédit Mutuel (France), Rabobank (Netherlands), Banque Raiffeisen (Luxembourg), Raiffeisen Schweiz (Switzerland) and Raiffeisen Südtirol (Italy) added a significant financial contribution.
