Biography

Nadia Thiele inherited her fortune from her late husband, billionaire industrialist Heinz Hermann Thiele, who died in February 2021 at age 79.

The biggest piece of her fortune is a stake in brake-system firm Knorr-Bremse AG; her late husband took control of the company in the mid 1980s.

Heinz Hermann was named honorary chairman of Knorr-Bremse AG in 2016 and took the company public in 2018.

Alongside her step-daughter Julia Thiele-Schuerhoff, Nadia Thiele is a member of Knorr-Bremse Global Care's Executive Board, the company's affiliated charity organization.

When he died, Heinz Hermann also owned 50% of railroad equipment maker Vossloh and 12.4% of German airline Lufthansa.
