The association mourns for Dietrich Schulze
On August 4th, 2023, the initiator and co-founder of the association, our honorary member Dietrich Schulze, died at the age of 98.
Since 1979, Dietrich Schulze had a close friendship with Maria and Renate Reiche. Shortly before her death, Renate Reiche asked him to write a biography about her famous sister.
Dietrich Schulze worked on this book for almost 15 years, which was published in 2005 under the title
"Bilderbuch der Wüste".
Dietrich Schulze was the association's secretary for many years; he built the Maria Reiche Archive, which is now located in the Romain Rolland High School in Dresden.
We will remember Dietrich Schulze as a wonderful person and a very active member of our association.
