It is with deep sadness that we bid farewell to our Executive Board Member Prof. Dr. Thomas Budde

Born in Essen, Prof. Budde was a long-time member of the Folkwang-Museumsverein. His tireless commitment to the Museum Folkwang was a matter dear to his heart. In March 2021, Prof. Budde was elected to the Executive Board of the Folkwang-Museumsverein. He remained committed until the end, enriching the work of the Executive Board with far-sighted ideas, empathy and his open, approachable and very likeable personality. We fondly remember his immense bravery and devotion to us, to the museum, to life in general. He was a significant role model for all of us to overcome fear and suffering.

We will miss him dearly and are deeply grateful for his outstanding commitment to the Folkwang-Museumsverein and the Museum Folkwang.

Our sincere compassion and deepest condolences are extended to his family and especially to his wife Ute.
