Foreword
On 25 September 2021, the Schrader Family Association celebrated its 100th anniversary at the Storchenscheune (Stork Barn) of the Jerichow Monastery Foundation.
The informative and entertaining programme was accompanied by music from harpist Simonetta Ginelli from Berlin.
The ceremony opened with the “Barcarole” from Jacques Offenbach’s The Tales of Hoffmann.

Harald Schrader, Chairman of the Schrader Family Association, drew a historical arc from the founding fathers to the present day and could not avoid the topic of the pandemic.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the pandemic, the chairman welcomed 23 members, some of whom had travelled long distances, and a number of guests to the ceremony.
This was followed by the piece of music ‘The Blue Danube’ by Johann Strauss (son).
welcome address
Welcome by the host of the Jerichow Monastery Foundation, Mr Roland Maiwald.
Mr Maiwald gave a brief historical overview of the monastery, touching on its connection to the Schrader family through Christian Friedrich Ludwig Schrader, a former tenant of the Jerichow estate from the Königslutter clan. He concluded with a look to the future, in which the Jerichow Monastery Foundation will be absorbed into the Cultural Foundation of the State of Saxony-Anhalt.

The piece “Morning Mood” from Edward Grieg’s Peer Gynt suite, which, willy-nilly, captured the current positive spirit of optimism within the family, provided a transition to one of the highlights of the ceremony.
