In November 2025, we received the sad news of the sudden passing of our colleague and friend Michael-Uwe Dreyling. He accompanied WTH GmbH for nearly three decades – first as a critical observer and partner from the outside, later as a valued member of our communications team.

With his journalistic sharpness, his clear language and his fine understanding of people, he helped shape how our company is perceived: from the early online magazine to today’s WTH Blog, from technical articles to the company chronicle for our 25th anniversary. Many projects – including our popular “Stade Umzu” calendar – bear his distinctive mark.

We will miss his humour, his realism and his passionate way of getting to the point. WTH loses a creative and critical mind, and we all lose a good colleague whose reliability and humanity enriched our daily work.

We are grateful for the time we were able to share and will honour his memory within our company.

Our sympathy goes to his family and to all who were close to him.

Gero Thieme
Managing Director of WTH GmbH
