Foundations with legal capacity that pursue public purposes and are therefore subject to government supervision are obliged to notify the foundation authority of the composition of the foundation's bodies and any changes without delay.
As foundation authorities, the governments must ensure in particular that the basic assets are preserved undiminished, that the income is used as intended and that the provisions of the foundation charter are complied with.
The foundation authorities have a comprehensive right to information and disclosure so that the aforementioned tasks can be carried out effectively. For its part, the foundation has the obligation to immediately notify any changes to the address, the power of representation and the composition of the organs. For this purpose, the current version of the supplementary statutes applicable to the foundation and those relevant for supervision (in particular the rules of procedure) must also be submitted to the competent authority.
The power of representation or the composition of the foundation's bodies has changed.
In the case of municipal foundations, the legal supervisory authority responsible for the respective municipality is responsible for certain foundation supervision tasks if the foundation is administered by the municipality.
Foundations under public law require approval for individual legal transactions.
If you wish to amend or supplement individual provisions of the articles of association of a foundation with legal capacity, you can do so under certain conditions with the approval of the responsible foundation authority, provided that the founder's wishes are observed.
