K\u00fchneho podnikate\u013esk\u00fd pr\u00edbeh z\u00e1sadn\u00fdm sp\u00f4sobom presahuje jednu logistick\u00fa spolo\u010dnos\u0165. Po\u010das svojho \u017eivota vybudoval obrovsk\u00fd majetok a svoje peniaze postupne investoval do leteckej, n\u00e1mornej, cestnej aj \u017eelezni\u010dnej dopravy.<\/p>\n

Podiely dr\u017eal v spolo\u010dnostiach, ako s\u00fa Lufthansa, Hapag-Lloyd, Brenntag \u010di Flix, pod ktor\u00fa patr\u00ed aj zn\u00e1my FlixBus. Jeho investi\u010dn\u00e9 imp\u00e9rium tak zasahovalo do slu\u017eieb, ktor\u00e9 denne vyu\u017e\u00edvaj\u00fa mili\u00f3ny Eur\u00f3panov vr\u00e1tane Slov\u00e1kov.<\/p>\n

K\u00fchne do rodinnej firmy nast\u00fapil ako 21-ro\u010dn\u00fd<\/p>\n

Klaus-Michael K\u00fchne sa narodil v roku 1937 v Hamburgu. Jeho star\u00fd otec August K\u00fchne spoluzalo\u017eil e\u0161te v roku 1890 v Br\u00e9mach \u0161pedi\u010dn\u00fa spolo\u010dnos\u0165, z ktorej nesk\u00f4r vyr\u00e1stla dne\u0161n\u00e1 K\u00fchne+Nagel.<\/p>\n

Mlad\u00fd K\u00fchne po obchodnom vzdelan\u00ed nast\u00fapil do rodinn\u00e9ho podniku v roku 1958. Mal iba 21 rokov. O osem rokov nesk\u00f4r sa stal predsedom predstavenstva vtedaj\u0161ej K\u00fchne+Nagel Speditions-AG a postupne prevzal \u010doraz v\u00e4\u010d\u0161iu zodpovednos\u0165 za smerovanie firmy.<\/p>\n

Jeho amb\u00edcia pritom nebola mal\u00e1. Z podniku orientovan\u00e9ho najm\u00e4 na nemeck\u00fd trh chcel vytvori\u0165 glob\u00e1lnu spolo\u010dnos\u0165.\u00a0\u201eMojou amb\u00edciou bolo vytvori\u0165 glob\u00e1lnu organiz\u00e1ciu. Trvalo to desa\u0165ro\u010dia,\u201c povedal pod\u013ea Swissinfo<\/a> v jednom zo svojich rozhovorov.<\/p>\n

V\u00fdsledkom je spolo\u010dnos\u0165, ktor\u00e1 dnes patr\u00ed medzi najv\u00e4\u010d\u0161\u00edch logistick\u00fdch hr\u00e1\u010dov sveta. K\u00fchne zostal s firmou spojen\u00fd prakticky cel\u00fd svoj profesion\u00e1lny \u017eivot \u2013 od ka\u017edodenn\u00e9ho riadenia cez predsedn\u00edctvo spr\u00e1vnej rady a\u017e po poz\u00edciu \u010destn\u00e9ho predsedu.<\/p>\n

Jeho holding investoval do lietadiel, lod\u00ed aj autobusov<\/p>\n

K\u00fchne sa v\u0161ak nespoliehal iba na firmu, ktor\u00e1 vytvorila z\u00e1klad jeho bohatstva. Prostredn\u00edctvom svojho holdingu postupne nakupoval v\u00fdznamn\u00e9 podiely v \u010fal\u0161\u00edch eur\u00f3pskych spolo\u010dnostiach.<\/p>\n

Ve\u013ek\u00fa \u010das\u0165 jeho invest\u00edci\u00ed sp\u00e1jala doprava a logistika. Patril medzi v\u00fdznamn\u00fdch akcion\u00e1rov leteckej spolo\u010dnosti Lufthansa a lodn\u00e9ho prepravcu Hapag-Lloyd. Peniaze vlo\u017eil aj do chemicko-distribu\u010dnej skupiny Brenntag \u010di spolo\u010dnosti Flix, ktor\u00e1 stoj\u00ed za autobusmi FlixBus a vlakmi FlixTrain. Podiel mal tie\u017e v hamburskom futbalovom klube HSV.<\/p>\n

Jeho portf\u00f3lio tak ukazuje pomerne jasn\u00fa investi\u010dn\u00fa logiku. K\u00fchne nevkladal miliardy n\u00e1hodne do desiatok nes\u00favisiacich oblast\u00ed. Ve\u013ek\u00e1 \u010das\u0165 jeho majetku zost\u00e1vala naviazan\u00e1 na odvetvia, ktor\u00fdm rozumel cel\u00fd profesion\u00e1lny \u017eivot \u2013 prepravu, obchod a logistiku.<\/p>\n

K\u00fchne patril medzi najbohat\u0161\u00edch \u013eud\u00ed Eur\u00f3py<\/p>\n

Odhady K\u00fchneho majetku sa pod\u013ea jednotliv\u00fdch rebr\u00ed\u010dkov l\u00ed\u0161ili a jeho presn\u00fa hodnotu ovplyv\u0148ovali ceny akci\u00ed spolo\u010dnost\u00ed, v ktor\u00fdch dr\u017eal podiely.<\/p>\n

Swissinfo s odvolan\u00edm na \u0161vaj\u010diarsky magaz\u00edn Bilanz<\/a> uv\u00e1dza majetok na pribli\u017ene 21 a\u017e 22 mili\u00e1rd \u0161vaj\u010diarskych frankov. In\u00e9 rebr\u00ed\u010dky ho oce\u0148ovali v\u00fdrazne vy\u0161\u0161ie. Forbes ho kr\u00e1tko pred smr\u0165ou radil medzi najbohat\u0161\u00edch \u013eud\u00ed sveta s majetkom presahuj\u00facim 40 mili\u00e1rd dol\u00e1rov.<\/p>\n

Pri podobn\u00fdch \u010d\u00edslach pritom nejde o desiatky mili\u00e1rd ulo\u017een\u00fdch na bankovom \u00fa\u010dte. V\u00e4\u010d\u0161inu bohatstva miliard\u00e1rov tvor\u00ed hodnota podielov vo firm\u00e1ch, ktor\u00e1 sa m\u00f4\u017ee zo d\u0148a na de\u0148 meni\u0165.<\/p>\n

Nemal deti, miliardov\u00fd majetok m\u00e1 smerova\u0165 nad\u00e1cii<\/p>\n

Po K\u00fchneho smrti zost\u00e1va mimoriadne zauj\u00edmav\u00e1 aj ot\u00e1zka, \u010do sa stane s jeho rozsiahlym majetkom. S man\u017eelkou Christine nemali deti a pod\u013ea Swissinfo m\u00e1 jeho bohatstvo smerova\u0165 do K\u00fchne Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nad\u00e1cia podporuje projekty v oblastiach vzdel\u00e1vania, v\u00fdskumu, logistiky, medic\u00edny \u010di kult\u00fary. Podnikate\u013esk\u00e9 imp\u00e9rium, ktor\u00e9 K\u00fchne budoval takmer sedem desa\u0165ro\u010d\u00ed, tak po jeho smrti nepredstavuje iba jedno z najv\u00e4\u010d\u0161\u00edch eur\u00f3pskych dedi\u010dstiev.<\/p>\n

\u201eS Klaus-Michaelovou smr\u0165ou sme stratili vizion\u00e1ra, ve\u013ek\u00e9ho podnikate\u013ea a pozoruhodn\u00e9ho \u010dloveka,\u201c uviedol predseda K\u00fchne+Nagel J\u00f6rg Wolle.<\/p>\n

K\u00fchne nast\u00fapil do rodinnej firmy ako 21-ro\u010dn\u00fd mlad\u00edk a zostal s \u0148ou spojen\u00fd a\u017e do svojich 89 rokov. Za ten \u010das pomohol premeni\u0165 tradi\u010dn\u00fa \u0161ped\u00edciu na glob\u00e1lneho logistick\u00e9ho giganta a kapit\u00e1l z \u00faspe\u0161n\u00e9ho podnikania rozlo\u017eil medzi niektor\u00e9 z najzn\u00e1mej\u0161\u00edch dopravn\u00fdch spolo\u010dnost\u00ed Eur\u00f3py.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"K\u00fchneho podnikate\u013esk\u00fd pr\u00edbeh z\u00e1sadn\u00fdm sp\u00f4sobom presahuje jednu logistick\u00fa spolo\u010dnos\u0165.
