The FoundationAbout its HistoryThe 'Professor Dr. A. F. Utz Foundation' was inaugurated by Brigitta Countess of Galen About its ObjectivesThe foundation publishes and republishes the scientific works of Professor Utz not only in German, but in Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese as well. It does not have a lucrative purpose but solely aims at advancing a deeper understanding of Utz's writings. It also has the objective of publishing and enlarging on his manuscripts without having economic interests at stake. At the same time, the foundation also intends to support studies and publications by German speaking Dominicans or students of Professor Utz which may serve to promulgate his Catholic social teachings. Furthermore, the foundation supports the Rome-based Papal Academy of Social Sciences founded through Professor Utz's personal initiative.

From its very beginning onwards, the foundation has always been based in Fribourg, Switzerland, at whose university, over decades, Utz taught as a professor of ethics and social philosophy. Owing to illness, the Countess of Galen finally gave up office as the foundation's president in 2005. However, she remained its honorary president until she deceased in January 2008.
