Book of condolences / Kondolenzbuch

Marcus and death...these two words were unimaginable together...he seemed so far from death, he was such integrated with life, so much filled with energy and joy for life...he had so many things to do, so many plans, so many meetings, so many projects...Now I understand why he was in such a hurry...flying from one city to another...rushing from one meeting to another...HE WAS SHORT OF TIME IN THIS WORLD... I was so concerned about your health in the last few months...I do not know why...I was thinking what if something happens to Marcus?? Because you were not really taking care of your health!! In one of our last meetings I said ''LONG LIVE MARCUS''.... As I read along the condolence book and after talking to many of my friends, who got the torch from you, I see now, how many lives you touched, in how many scientists’ heart and mind you put the fire for science, research and good patient care. And you also cared a lot for your patients. You shaped my life in an unchangable way… you gave me a path to walk on…you opened the doors for me…it seemed so easy for you, but you DID SO MUCH, without even recognizing it… Now we are left with your memories and pictures Marcus... It is so difficult to come to Paul Ehrlich Haus and feel your absence…but it is getting better day by day…But still I find it so unfair that you are not with us anymore and the humanity can not benefit from your deep knowledge and intelligence…THIS IS SO UNFAIR! We will keep going Marcus, don’t worry…We are a crowded group of people here in the world, who got that passion to move the science of mast cells and urticariology forward -basically you injected that to us-…We will continue working and will continue your legacy. We will keep doing research, write papers, take good care of our patients and continue increasing awareness. Yes, you will always be with us, in our hearts… Best wishes Emek

It is with a heavy heart that I express my deepest condolences for the loss. Your generosity and selflessness have left an indelible mark on my life. Your guidance and wisdom will always be cherished. May you rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and loved ones during this difficult time. With deepest sympathy, Magan Ali

Nearly 20 years ago, during a very challenging time in my life, Prof. Maurer's care and expertise made an incredible difference. Without his help, I would not have been able to complete my studies, which ultimately shaped the foundation of my career today. I am deeply saddened by this tragic loss. His professional care, intelligence, dedication, talent and kindness made a lasting impression on me. I will always remain grateful for his dedication and compassion. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to his family during this time of grief.

Just found out today through his podcast that he past. Saddest news ive heard in a while. 18 years I've suffered with Chronic Hives and this man here is one of the reasons I still hold on to this life. If not for him and his information and message of hope, im not sure where i'd be. I had actually wished to meet him in person one day and thank him. On your behalf anyone that I can help in the future, I will be sure to mention the name, Prof. Marcus Maurer. Thank you!

É a terceira vez que escrevo e agora em português e preciso escrever o que, de tantas lembranças incríveis , a minha despedida de doutorado que guardarei com muito carinho. Sempre serei grata por tanto que recebi de você, e da sua família, no dia da minha despedida de doutorado na sua casa. Você com a camiseta do Brasil e todos da equipe também, fui tão bem recebida, fizemos tantas caipirinhas. Meus sentimentos à família. Você continua sendo gigante, um brilho enorme, mesmo neste outro mundo.

An die Familie und die Kolleginnen und Kollegen. Mein herzliches Beileid und viel Kraft für die kommende Zeit. Ohne das Wirken von Prof. Mauerer und seinen Einsatz mit dem Team - wäre ich heute nicht da wo ich bin. DANKE

Ich habe ihn als Referenten erleben dürfen. Er hat mich sehr beeindruckt! Persönlich hat er auch einen sehr freundlichen Eindruck bei mir hinterlassen. Ich wünsche der Familie viel Kraft!

If a story makes you heartbroken when it ends, it must have been pretty wonderful when it was happening. In my six years here at AG Maurer, working alongside with Marcus, I never experienced anything but joy and fulfillment. I miss you so much, Marcus.

So shocked and devestated to find about the departure of the dearest prof.Maurer. Not only a best doctor , most skillful in his specialty, but a wonderful caring warm personality. He was so much into helping medically and personally , which can nit be taken for granted. We will miss him , and keep his memory as the best ever humane Allergologist- for me. Pitty no one sustituted him. May he rest in peace. Will always be remembered as an angel. Fr. Gurwich - Israel.🌹

It is with a heavy heart that I write this condolence message for Professor Marcus Maurer. I had the immense privilege of working with him from 2011 to 2014, and those years were among the most meaningful in my life and career. Marcus was not only an extraordinary clinician and brilliant scientist but, above all, a deeply compassionate human being. Despite being one of the busiest people in the world, he always made time to help others with a generosity of spirit that was truly rare. I learned so much in his lab, and I am forever grateful for his guidance and support. Without his mentorship, I could not have reached the goals I have today. His impact on my life and career is immeasurable, and I will always cherish the memories of the time we spent together. Marcus, it is heartbreaking to have to remember you in this way. I wish I could have expressed to you just how much I respected you, how much I admired you, and how often I thought of you—both when you were here and even now that you are gone. Your legacy lives on in the hearts of everyone you touched. Whether in this world or another, you will forever remain alive in my heart and memory. I will miss you, Marcus, and I will always carry your smile and your kindness with me. With deepest respect and sorrow, Rohit
