He has accompanied us from the very beginning, built the all-important bridge to living Judaism for us, always helped to organize our commemorations, participated in interfaith dialogue and enjoyed attending our events. He received our Jewish guests in the Marburg synagogue and also celebrated Kabbalat Shabbat with them in the Roth synagogue. But this list hardly does justice to the human dimension. We will always remember his open-mindedness, warm-heartedness and kindness with great gratitude. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to his wife Hannelore and his family.
