We take over
Social responsibility
We take our social obligations seriously. For many years, we have been supporting selected projects from the social and community environment.
In cultural terms, we are particularly involved as the initiator of the internationally renowned Felix Schoeller Photo Award. With this award we honour photographers who share our passion for uncompromisingly good pictures.
We support Olympians
Sebastian Dietz
Since August 2013 we have been supporting the Paralympic Olympian Sebastian Dietz. In the two disciplines of discus throwing and shot put he won several gold and silver medals in national and international competitions. Dietz, who competes for the BSG Bad Oeynhausen e.V., which is 60 km away from Osnabrück, not only impresses with his best performance in the sport, but also with his fighting spirit and determination.
Uncompromising quality, unique flexibility and genuine partnership - parallels to our brand values can also be found in Sebastian Dietz. His great successes in recent years are undisputed top performances based on consistent and goal-oriented training. Turning to two new sports after a serious accident despite his handicap and successfully establishing himself in both of them at the top of the world rankings is evidence of enormous flexibility. Dietz also emphasizes how important the support of his family and the support of his coaches are for his own success.
With our support, we would like to enable a successful athlete from the region to participate in international competitions and to show top performance there. Always with him - autograph cards printed on Felix Schoeller paper
We are committed to culture
The Felix Schoeller Photo Award
The renowned Felix Schoeller Photo Award, which is open to entries from all over the world, has been a commitment to high-quality photography since 2013. The prize honours works that demonstrate a love of photography and the highest standards of image quality. As a manufacturer of special papers for the best possible prints, Felix Schoeller would like to use the prize to honour and support photographers who share the company's passion for high-quality images. The Felix Schoeller Photo Award is presented every two years. Sometimes over 1,000 works are submitted, with up to five photographs per work. This quickly adds up to more than 5,000 photos by creative photographers. An independent jury evaluates and awards prizes for the best submissions.
In 2019, the Felix Schoeller Photo Award was given a new sub-category - the German Peace Prize for Photography. It is awarded jointly with the city of Osnabrück as a partner. The German Peace Prize for Photography is unique in this form. It links Osnabrück as a city of peace in Westphalia with the Osnabrück-based family business Felix Schoeller.
