We were deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of Gert G. Wagner, who was a Fellow at the Max Weber Centre for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies at the University of Erfurt from 2009 to 2010, where he conducted research on "Religion and Life Satisfaction".
On behalf of the Kolleg, we would like to express our deepest sympathy to his family. We will honour his memory.
