Antje von Dewitz grew up in Untereisenbach near Tettnang. She is the second of the three daughters of Albrecht von Dewitz who founded the family business VAUDE in 1974. [3] The family is a branch of the originally Mecklenburg-Pomeranian aristocratic family von Dewitz.
Antje spent one of her final school years in Chattanooga, Tennessee, as part of an exchange program. While there, she attended Baylor School. [4]
Antje von Dewitz lives in Tettnang with her partner and their four children. [5]
Von Dewitz studied economics and cultural studies at the University of Passau. She graduated in 1998. [6] During her studies, Dewitz rather wanted to work in the field of environmental protection and had initially not planned to enter the company of her father. Since 1998, when she was first employed by VAUDE as an intern, she built up the Bags and Travel Bag area. [7] From 2000 to 2002, she was responsible for public relations, and in 2005 she took over the entire marketing management. During the period from 2002 to 2005, she was also partly employed as a research assistant at the University of Stuttgart-Hohenheim, [8] where she wrote a dissertation titled High-performance employment relationships in medium-sized companies. [9] She completed her doctorate in 2005. In 2009 Albrecht von Dewitz handed over the management to her. [10] Since then, Dewitz has increasingly been setting up more and more processes in the company on criteria of sustainability and environmental compatibility. This should also be done along the whole value-added chain, that is throughout the logistics chain and in the case of subcontractors abroad. [11]
In 2020, Antje von Dewitz supported the passage of a German supply chain law to ensure higher ethical and ecological standards in international sourcing for the German economy. To lend more weight to this cause, she collaborated with federal minister Gerd Müller of the conservative Christian Social Union in Bavaria. [12]
Von Dewitz advocates that the guidelines for the Economy for the Common Good should be given more importance and criticizes the fact that in business attention is only paid to financial ratios. Together with political activist Christian Felber, she achieved that in 2015, the European Economic and Social Committee declared itself in favour of the economy of the common good and argued that it should be integrated into both European and national legal frameworks. [13]
Von Dewitz was an Alliance 90/The Greens delegate to the Federal Convention for the purpose of electing the President of Germany in 2017. [14]
