Prof. Holzapfel's farewell lecture on "Images - or how images determine planning" ended with much applause in the Senate Hall on Monday afternoon, followed by a laudatory speech about his life's work by Prof. Carsten Sommer from the Department of Transport Planning and Transport Systems.

Around 30 people from research, politics and civil society attended the event, including Kassel City Councillor for Climate Change Simone Fedderke, her predecessor Christof Nolda (City Planning Councillor) and Prof. Uwe Altrock (Department of Urban Renewal and Planning Theory).

Helmut Holzapfel headed the Department of Integrated Transport Planning/Mobility Development at the University of Kassel from 1993 to 2015.
Together with Prof. Lucius Burckhardt, he established the city walks as a teaching and learning method.
From 2022 to 2025, he was a lecturer at the Kassel Mobility Lab in the Master's program "Mobility, Transport and Infrastructure".
