On 30 January 2024, Mrs Lenhart took her well-deserved retirement as secretary of the chair for many years. She had already worked as a secretary at the Chair under Prof Antonyuk's predecessors, Prof Ripperger and Prof Ebert, providing advice and support to several generations of professors and PhD students. We would like to thank her most sincerely for her tireless commitment and dedication to the department over the past decades and wish her all the best for her retirement. We look forward to continuing to welcome Mrs Lenhart at social events organised by the Chair. As a memento of her work at the chair, the PhD students made a "doctor's hat" with memories of the past decades, which was presented at the farewell ceremony.

We would also like to extend a warm welcome to her successor at the Chair, Mrs Maurer, and wish her all the best for the future.
