„Wo man am meisten fühlt, weiß man am wenigsten zu sagen.“ (Annette von Droste-Hülshoff) 

 

Our Chairman Prof. Dr C. Sebastian Sommer passed away unexpectedly on 12 October 2021. We are stunned and deeply saddened by this great loss. Our thoughts are with his family, to whom we wish much strength.

His passion for the subject was more than contagious, his services to the Limes in Germany and the Roman heritage considerable. As a leader, he was always authentic and straightforward, emphatic and supportive. It was a great pleasure to work with him. We will always remember his life-affirming and cheerful manner and will miss him very much!

With profound sorrow

The Office of the German Limes Commission
