The Ruf aus der Altsteinzeit – Stiftung (Call from the Paleolithic – Foundation) was established in 2008 by the retired surveyor Hans Grams and in the same year was recognized as an independent and charitable foundation.

Timeline of human development in relation to the period for art is recognized

The preamble to the Foundation’s statutes therefore states:
„… The foundation is to be extinguished as soon as scientific archaeology recognizes the orientation and figure stones of the collection „
