Our ambassadors
Former professional footballer Sandro Wagner became a new sponsor for the New Hauner in May 2023. Sandro Wagner visited Professor Dr. med. Andreas Flemmer's premature baby ward back in July.
"The LMU Hospital is a very special place for me - after all, I was born here myself," says Sandro Wagner. The former professional footballer and current U-20 co-national coach is now the sponsor of the new Hauner building. "We visited the neonatology department and it is very moving to see how children are helped here who don't have it so easy at the beginning. From the discussions with the experts responsible at the LMU Clinic, I realized the urgent need for this new building so that interdisciplinary cooperation can be expanded even further."

"It is my personal wish to do everything I can to ensure that we can offer our children a world worth living in and loving. I share this wish with all the employees of the Dr. von Hauner Children's Hospital. I am very happy to support the project to create a place in the New Hauner where children and young people receive the best treatment and loving, patient care. Because the health of our children deserves every effort."

"One of my tasks as a board member of an energy company is to deal intensively with securing our energy supply. This is about our future, about basic supplies for future generations. The great planning of the New Hauner is an equally important part of our basic supply. This is also about securing the future of our society. This project is of outstanding importance for the best possible care of children in Bavaria. That's why it deserves every support."
Thomas Barth (born 1955) is Chairman of the Board of Management of E.ON Energie AG and Chairman of the Children's Palliative Care Association at LMU Klinikum München.
"Science and research have always been highly valued in Bavaria. Bavarian universities and scientific institutions produce top achievements that are recognized worldwide. Society and the economy benefit from this in equal measure. With the construction of the New Hauner, we have the opportunity to not only maintain this top level in the field of pediatric medicine, but to further expand it."
Dr. Nikolaus von Bomhard (born 1956) is Chairman of the Board of Management of Munich Reinsurance Company, married and father of two children.

"I experience the concerns of parents whose child was born prematurely particularly intensely. And how important it is for them to have competent contacts, that there are parents' rooms where they can be with their child around the clock. I know from my own experience that the worries about a sick child always remain the same - no matter how old it is. That's why I'm committed to the New Hauner. Because it gives affected parents and children the security they need in their difficult situation."
Karin Fahrenschon, business graduate, amateur photographer and patron of the "FrühStart ins Leben" association at LMU Klinikum München and mother of two children.
"Giving people the security they need every day is a matter of course for us as an insurance company. It is particularly important to me to stand up for the youngest members of our society. Our children need our protection the most and excellent medical care is an invaluable and important contribution to global social coexistence."
Dr. Frank Walthes is Chairman of the Board of Management of Versicherungskammer Bayern.
"The basis for successful pediatric medicine is research and innovation."
Alfred Gaffal is President of the Bavarian Industry Association (vbw).

Since its foundation, the Hauner Children's Hospital has not only offered the highest medical quality, but also a caring and warm atmosphere for children and their families. The New Hauner is to continue this tradition in a new environment with improved framework conditions. I therefore invite everyone to participate in this project of cutting-edge medicine for children."

"I have been loyal to my employer BMW since 1988 - from sales consultant at BMW in Frankfurt a. M. to my current position as Director of Sales South and thus head of the largest branch in Germany, which is a great honor for me. I always emphasize that in addition to a passion for the brand and the product, you also have to have a lot of empathy - you simply have to like people. We attach great importance to our young talent: this year, I was once again able to welcome 100 young people who we are supporting as part of an apprenticeship - children are our future! That's why I'm happy to support the New Hauner, which is committed to the health of the very youngest."
Peter Mey (born 1965) is the former head of the BMW branch in Munich.

Perfect medical care combined with loving care is the best prerequisite for a good start in life."

"As a Bavarian with Greek roots, the well-being of the next generation and the generation after that is particularly close to my heart, because that is what a society is built on. A good start in life and the possibility of medical care at the highest level are the best prerequisites for every person. That's why I have been supporting the New Hauner for a long time and with all my heart."
Stavros Kostantinidis (born 1966), lawyer, Chairman of the German-Greek Business Association in Bavaria and Vice President of the Greek Academy e V.
"Family means so much to me, both professionally and privately. I perhaps experience the joy of being able to manage a company in the sixth generation particularly intensely because I was able to experience a carefree childhood and was always surrounded by a lot of love and care. I therefore very much welcome and support Neuer Hauner's approach of not only being at the cutting edge of medicine, but also providing a warm, family atmosphere."
Annette Roeckl (born 1967) is the sixth generation to manage the traditional company Roeckl Handschuhe und Accessoires GmbH & Co KG in Munich. She is the mother of one son.

After all, it's about cutting-edge medicine for the benefit of our children - and there's hardly anything more important to me."
Eva Schoeller is Executive Manager at "Europe's 500 - Entrepreneurs for Growth". She is married and the mother of one child.
"Charity and the motivation to stand up for others are among the most important basic attitudes of a Christian life. Children are often the weakest members of society. It should therefore be a concern of all of us that we stand up for them. The new Hauner cares in a very special way for the health and well-being of even the very youngest children and thus stands for values that are very close to my heart, both personally and in my role as a representative of the Catholic Church."
Rupert Graf zu Stolberg (born 1970) Episcopal Vicar of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising

"Compared to many countries, it is obvious how good our medical care is in Germany and especially in Munich. Primary care is just as important as cutting-edge medicine with intensive research. I am happy to support the Hauner Children's Hospital, which sets a special example here, because you can't do enough for the well-being of the very youngest."

In my role as President of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Munich and Upper Bavaria, but also in my private life, it is important to me to always have an ear for people's problems, questions and concerns and to be able to provide food for thought. Munich has made me a successful entrepreneur. You also feel a sense of duty to give something back and get involved."
Dr. Eberhard Sasse (born 1951) President IHK Munich and Upper Bavaria
