Obituary Dr. phil. Wolf Helmut Hamann
(25.11.1937-30.01.2013)
The sad news that Mr Dr. phil. Wolf Helmut Hamann, founder of the "Dr. Wolf Hamann-Foundation", had died on the 30th of January 2013 unfortunately reached us belatedly.
After having successfully worked as an architect, Mr. Dr. Hammann studied History at the LMU and graduated with a doctoral degree. Within the framework of his doctoral studies he also dealt with Near Eastern Archaeology and was a welcome guest at our institute. These studies induced him to install the foundation called after him, with the objective to promote Near Eastern Archaeology at the LMU Munich. The objective of the foundation is primarily fulfilled by granting subsidies for travel expenses correlated to doctoral theses, or for printing costs and congress participation. Furthermore, master students are granted financial aid for travels.
The Institute of Near Eastern Archaeology is very grateful to Mr. Dr. Hamann for his generous foundation and will always bear him in remembrance.
