Shooting at Heidelberg University / Our Condolences

The University of Mannheim expresses their condolences after the shooting in Heidelberg:

“It is with shock and dismay that we have learned of yesterday’s horrific incident at Heidelberg University.


It is inconceivable that something like this happens at a university, a place where young people get together to learn, live, form friendships and lay the foundation for their future. Something like this happening at Heidelberg University, which is so close to us, not only in terms of location but on so many levels, is even less comprehensible for us. We feel connected personally, we are connected in friendship and this leaves us beyond words.

Our thoughts are with the deceased student and her family, with the ones harmed and with their families and with all the people who had to witness this horrible deed from nearby. We wish all those who were injured a quick and complete recovery. We want to express our heartfelt condolences to all those affected, all students, teachers and employees of Heidelberg University. We wish you strength for the upcoming difficult time.”
