Thomas Großbölting has made an outstanding contribution to the historical review of the Bernhard Nocht Institute and its namesake. His well-founded, balanced, and informative report on Bernhard Nocht serves as a guide for us in assessing our history.

We will always remember his positive, inclusive, and warm presence.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to his family.

Prof. Dr Jürgen May

on behalf of the Board of the BNITM
