\u201cLooking back at the last 40 years, I am proud that we have managed to position the two clinics as market leaders, with scientifically proven therapeutic services and worldwide recognition. My son Leonard studied in St. Gallen, successfully established a social start-up and has gained a wide range of professional experience, not only within our clinic. He can offer the clinic a fresh perspective and new inspiration.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Leonard Wilhelmi is looking forward to managing the clinic, which was founded in 1953 and is now in the fourth generation of the family:<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cMore and more people with responsibility in their job and family want to lead a long and healthy life. The latest scientific research has shown that Buchinger fasting can be a unique instrument to achieve this. I am proud to be able to help our international patients to achieve a healthy and happy life, and am looking forward to the challenge!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Raimund Wilhelmi was born in Bad Pyrmont in 1949 to Maria Buchinger and Helmut Wilhelmi. After studying Law in Berlin and Hamburg and Psychology in New York, he began working in his parents\u2019 clinic in 1979. After his father\u2019s death in 1985, he took over management of the clinic and became President of the Administrative Board of the clinic\u2019s dependence in Marbella. He took his grandfather\u2019s comment to heart, who said that the Buchinger method was ideal for now, but that he considered new developments to be possible and desirable in the future. He recognised early on how people\u2019s needs change over the course of time, saw the opportunities offered by globalisation and medical progress.<\/p>\n Together with his wife, Dr. Fran\u00e7oise Wilhelmi de Toledo from Geneva, and his team, he continued to enhance the clinic and the method. Under his aegis, both clinics grew with new rooms, new four and five-star residences were built for international clientele, digital detox and numerous other services and treatments from all over the world were introduced and adapted to the Buchinger method.<\/p>\n It is also thanks to Raimund Wilhelmi that the clinic recognised the significance of psychological aspects in the progression of a disease, and supplemented its therapeutic team with psychologists \u2013 something completely new at the time. Psychotherapy, as well as a wide-ranging cultural programme in three languages, are now part of the programme at Buchinger Wilhelmi.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Leonard Wilhelmi, the younger of Dr. Fran\u00e7oise Wilhelmi de Toledo\u2019s and Raimund Wilhelmi\u2019s two sons, was born in Scherzingen in the Swiss canton of Thurgau in 1987. After graduating from boarding school at Schule Schloss Salem, he did internships at Charit\u00e9 hospital in Berlin and with Prof. Dobosch at Essen-Mitte clinic. At the University of St. Gallen, Leonard Wilhelmi was founding president of the Family Business Club, which aims to promote an exchange between students at the University of St. Gallen and family businesses.<\/p>\n In 2013, he and a fellow student were awarded funding by \u201cStartfeld\u201d, an innovation network, in the area of \u201cSocial Enterprise\u201d for their start-up Gartengold. Gartengold works with disadvantaged people and people with a disability to produce apple juice from unmanaged trees in Eastern Switzerland, and is still going strong today.<\/p>\n After various internships, including at an international management consultancy, he started working at a listed telecommunications company in 2015. He took part in internal junior development programmes and led a project abroad in Istanbul, among other things.<\/p>\n In 2017, Leonard Wilhelmi joined his parent\u2019s company as junior manager at Buchinger Wilhelmi Bodensee clinic.<\/p>\nRaimund Wilhelmi:<\/h4>\n
