Universität Hamburg mourns author Siegfried Lenz. Lenz, who studied philosophy, English and German literature at the University in the 1940s, passed away on Tuesday at the age of eighty-eight.

Der Präsident der Universität Hamburg, Prof. Dr. Dieter Lenzen: „Die Universität Hamburg trauert um ihren Ehrensenator, der mit seinem literarischen Oeuvre wichtige Themen der Gesellschaft kritisch aufgriff und damit beispielhaft Werte wie Toleranz, die Fähigkeit zur Urteilsbildung und Freundschaft vermittelt hat.“
