Biography
Julia Thiele-Schuerhoff inherited a portion of the fortune that her late father, Heinz Hermann Thiele, built up, including a stake in vehicle braking systems maker Knorr-Bremse AG.
Her father joined Knorr-Bremse's legal department in the late 1960s and took over control in the mid-1980s.
He withdrew from operational duties in 2007, chaired the supervisory board, was named honorary chairman in 2016, and took the company public in 2018.
When he died in February 2021, at age 79, Heinz Hermann also owned 50% of railroad equipment maker Vossloh and 12.4% of German airline Lufthansa.
Julia Thiele-Schuerhoff serves on Knorr-Bremse's supervisory board and runs an affiliated charity organization, Knorr-Bremse Global Care.
