I knew the Rabbi personal as i traveled many times to Hanover for exhibitions . We went to daven there and the Rabbi always struggled to put a minyen together with such mesires nefesh and served us breakfast .
his life was really devoted for yiddishkeit as Hanover has very few shomrei torah yidden left and the rabbi was building it brick by brick and i saw his rebbetzen teaching her kids Torah her being the rebetzen,mother,teacher , looking after every yid in Hanover.He deserved his name Erliche Upgeheetene Yid in every way.
May he be a mylitz yosher for his family who are left so broken and lost and be a mylitz yosher for Klal Yisroel.
