Book of condolences / Kondolenzbuch

Marcus Maurer

*1966 †2024

In memory of Marcus Maurer, we are opening this digital book of condolences to give everyone the opportunity to express their grief, memories and sympathy. Together let us collect the beautiful moments, small and big stories with Marcus and the meaning Marcus had for us in this place. We have lost a brilliant person, an excellent teacher, an outstanding scientist and a warm-hearted friend. Our thoughts are with his family and all those who were friends and close to him.

We receive numerous inquiries every day regarding donation opportunities. After careful consideration, we have decided to allocate donations to the “Marcus Maurer Fellowship Program” to establish scholarships and travel grants for young physicians and researchers.

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
