It is with great regret that we learn of the death of Dr Henneke Lütgerath on 29 August 2024. Leuphana University Lüneburg and in particular the Joachim Herz Doctoral School of Law would like to express their deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the deceased. Our special condolences go to his wife Bettina Lütgerath and his four sons.
Dr Henneke Lütgerath, who holds a doctorate in law, was Chairman of the Board of Trustees (from 2022) and previously Chairman of the Executive Board (2017 - 2021) of the Joachim Herz Foundation. Between 1985 and 2017, he worked for the Hamburg-based bank M. M. Warburg. After heading the bank's subsidiaries in Luxembourg and Berlin from 2001 to 2008, he became a partner in the Hamburg-based parent bank in 2009. He was also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Übersee-Club e.V., Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Foundation for the Promotion of University Medicine Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), and for many years a member of the Supervisory Board of Bucerius Law School.
His commitment to science in the Hamburg metropolitan region and his social engagement were of outstanding importance and will remain unforgotten.
