The society Thomas Mann Gesellschaft Zürich is a real institution: It was founded in Zurich in agreement with Katia Mann on 12 August 1956, the first anniversary of Thomas Mann's death. Hermann Hesse was also a member of the founding committee. The first president of the board was Max Rychner.

The society aims to deepen the understanding of Thomas Mann, support research into and the presentation of his works, promote the study of his person and times and keep his intellectual legacy alive. Since 1958, it has published the Blätter der Thomas Mann Gesellschaft and offers its members the yearbook Thomas Mann Jahrbuch.
