Prof. Dr. Carl H. Hahn, manager of the automotive industry and former Chairman of the Board of Volkswagen AG, had been Honorary Senator of Technische Universit\u00e4t Braunschweig since 1987. He died on 14 January 2023 at the age of 96.<\/p>\n

With his international expertise, his foresight and his analytical and at the same time visionary thinking, he gave TU Braunschweig new innovative impulses and thus helped shape its strategic direction for decades.<\/p>\n

With Carl Hahn, TU Braunschweig has lost an outstanding personality who rendered special services to the promotion of science and its cooperation with industry. His achievements were formative for TU Braunschweig. Personally, he made a name for himself, especially with regard to automotive engineering. Early on, Carl Hahn saw the responsibility for the high standard of automotive engineering in Germany in the scientific solution of technical challenges. For him, research was indispensable and forward-looking to ensure competitiveness. That is why he particularly promoted cooperation with universities, research institutions and industry.<\/p>\n

The connection between Carl Hahn and TU Braunschweig went beyond the purely technical area. His suggestions led to the creation of further education courses. Among other things, he promoted the involvement of experts from Volkswagen AG as lecturers, who gave students insights into practice and thus contributed to the connection between practice and teaching at TU Braunschweig.<\/p>\n

We bid farewell to Carl Hahn, a committed supporter of TU Braunschweig, to whom we are indebted and to whom we will always keep an honourable memory.<\/p>\n
