"Founding and Development of the Gemeinnütziger Verein ENDO-Klinik by Eckart Dölber
The association was able to raise funds in excess of 15 million Deutschmarks within the first 25 years - strong funding support for the clinic! The money came from contributions, gifts and donations, bequests, fines and special fund raisers. Among the many supporters of both the association and the clinic two individuals should expressly be noted: During the challenging start-up phase industrialist Kurt A. Körber made his CPAs/chartered accountants available as consultants at his own expense. Consul Carl W.R. Meentzen of Bremen deserves mention for rendering similar services in the complex decision on acquisition of the clinic building in 1982. Furthermore, he contributed funds to the financing of the publication celebrating the clinic's 10th anniversary in 1985."
