Starting 1966 a close group of friends initiated in Bonn the association the 'Gesellschaft der Freunde Roger Loewigs' [Association of Friends of Roger Loewig]. This played an exponential role in supporting the artist and raising awareness on the artistic production of Loewig in Western Germany, and equally supporting the artist departure from the GDR. After the death of Roger Loewig, the Association has been reorganised in 1998 as the Roger Loewig Gesellschaft e.V. with the aim of managing the artistic legacy of Roger Loewig.
