Professor Hans Straka passed away
14.12.2022
Dear All,
by now You have most likely all heard about the unexpected death of Hans Straka. He did not wake up on Friday morning after a heart failure.
I knew Hans for more than 35 years and talked to Hans on Thursday late afternoon in my office. It is unbelievable that he died only 12 hours later - but it is true.
Hans will be buried on Friday 10 am in Oberammergau, where he grew up and where his mother lives. Unfortunately, a trip to Oberammergau via public transportation is very complicated and takes about 2 hours. Hence, please let Simone know if you plan to attend the funeral and if you are looking for a ride or if you can offer a place in your car.
Still under shock,
Benedikt Grothe
