Prof. Schmidt-Traub was appointed to the then Department of Chemical Engineering in March 1989 and headed the Plant Engineering Division until 2005. His excellent scientific qualifications earned him a high reputation, also internationally.

His hanseatic moderate manner, his approachability, his sincere interest in people, his communicative talents and his warm-hearted humor won people over. Prof. Schmidt-Traub was held in high esteem by colleagues and students alike. Even after his retirement, he remained closely connected to the faculty. Examples include his support during the initial accreditation of the Bachelor's and Master's degree programs, his promotion of study abroad programs, and his long-standing commitment to the seminar "Soft Skills and Management Methods." From 1992 to 1994 Prof. Schmidt-Traub was Dean of the Faculty BCI and from 1994 to 1996 he filled the position of "Prorector for Planning and Finance".

With Prof. Schmidt-Traub, the faculty loses a highly esteemed and universally loved colleague. Our deepest sympathy goes to his relatives.
