Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. em. Gerhard Schwödiauer
The university mourns the loss of its long-standing member Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. em. Gerhard Schwödiauer. He passed away on October 13, 2025.
As founding professor and dean of the Faculty of Economics (1993-96), he played a key role in shaping the faculty's institutional character on the one hand and its academic and methodological orientation on the other. We look back with gratitude and the utmost appreciation on his far-sighted commitment to the internationalization of teaching and research. Until his retirement in 2010, Professor Schwödiauer held the Chair of Economics, specializing in economic theory, and was a long-standing senator of the university. Read an obituary.
We will honor his memory.
