The person is Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen (1818-1888). He is one of the founders of the cooperative movement in Germany and is the namesake of the Raiffeisen organization. His idea was for people to help themselves in a fixed community, a cooperative. Over the years and decades, based on the ideas of FW Raiffeisen, the efficient Raiffeisen organization, which is indispensable for the agricultural sector and rural population, has developed. The aim of the cooperatives is to promote their members on a permanent basis and to secure their economic independence and existence through joint business operations. Self-help, self-responsibility and self-administration. These are the principles of the cooperatives. In the meantime, goods, service and agricultural cooperatives, as well as cooperative banks in the sense of FW Raiffeisen, work for the benefit of their members and customers. Today around 350 million people are organized in cooperatives in over 100 countries.
