The Deutsche Bank and the CHIO Aachen celebrated their 60-year partnership with a spectacular evening and exciting guests on Saturday evening. There was one very special winner of this evening at the World Equestrian Festival: Therapeutic riding.

Because in the course of the evening a foal from the Lewitz Stud of Paul Schockemöhle was auctioned off. The auctioneer Volker Raulff exclaimed “going for the third time!“ at a price of 34,000 Euros, a picture by the famous artist Klaus Philipp changed hands for the price of 14,000 Euros. Jürgen Fitschen, Co-Chairman of the Deutsche Bank AG, doubled the total amount raised by 50 percent, so that ultimately 72,000 Euros went in aid of the German Curatorship for Therapeutic Riding.
