ZEW Mourns the Death of a ZEW Sponsors’ Association Founding Member

ZEW Mannheim mourns the death of Rolf Kentner, who passed away on 20 May 2020 at the age of 73. The former director of the Baden-Württembergische Bank in Mannheim was a close associate of ZEW for many years. Managing Director Thomas Kohl praises Rolf Kentner as a “valued friend and supporter, always ready to lend his knowledge and creative power to ZEW research.”

As representative of Baden-Württembergische Bank AG, Rolf Kentner was one of the founding members of the ZEW Sponsors’ Association for Science and Practice, serving as a board member and treasurer from 1993 to 2005. His strong commitment facilitated the establishment and subsequent rapid growth of the association, leading to the important role it continues to play today in supporting ZEW.

All of us at ZEW are very grateful for Mr. Kentner’s bountiful contributions; he will be greatly missed.
