2024/07/20

It is with great regret that we bid farewell to

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Jürgen Hoffmann

who passed away on July 7th at the age of 89.

As one of the first professors of Computer Science at the former TH Darmstadt, he played a decisive role in the establishment of the department in 1971. He headed the Programming Languages and Compilers group until his retirement in 2000.

We are deeply grateful to him for his dedication.

Our thoughts are with his family and we will honor his memory. The family mourns with the closest circle of family members.

The Dean
Prof. Dr. Dr. Christian Reuter
