U-boot Archiv : Tod Horst Bredow

    Hallo,


    habe soeben erfahren, dass Horst Bredow, www.u-boot-archiv-cuxhaven.de , gestern, 22.02.2015, verstorben ist.


    Mir fehlen die Worte.


    Es wird keine Trauerfeier o.ä. geben, da er verfügt hat, dass seine Asche in Stille der See übergeben wird.
    Wer einmal im U-Boot-Archiv war, kann in etwa ermessen, wie viel Arbeit und Herzblut in diesem Projekt stecken, das Jahrzehnte vor Internet und digitaler Welt gestartet wurde und dessen Vielfalt kaum zu ermessen ist.


    Die Teilnehmer des letzten großen Forumtreffs konnten sich z.B. persönlich davon überzeugen.
    Seine Frau Annemarie hat bereits erklärt, dass sie das U-Boot-Archiv weiterführen wird.


    In stillem Gedenken


    Ibrahim Ahmad

    it is my sad duty to inform you on behalf of Annemarie Bredow that Horst Bredow has passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon, Sunday, 22nd of Feb 2015, in his house at Altenbruch.


    There will be no funeral service and other forms of gathering, since Horst has declared his last will his ashes to be given to the sea quietly.


    Annemarie has asked me to let you know that she will continue leading the "Foundation German U-Boat Museum" as chairman as disposed by Horst Bredow building on the support of the friends of the Museum and Archive. Therefore, it is firm intent to carry on with the work of the Museum and
    Archive.


    Hence, the next joint meeting of the Executive and Advisory Board of the foundation remains on schedule for Friday, 10th of April 2015. Also, the next annual general meeting of the Association of Friends of the Tradition Archive U-Boats (FTU) will be executed as scheduled on Saturday, 11th of April 2015.
