Scientific paper

On May 27, 2002 Prof. Kurt Hunger passed away at an age of 80. Kurt Hunger was a true European and a passionate and active supporter of the European Southern Observatory. He served on many ESO committees such as the OPC, which he chaired for several years, and the Council. He was President of the ESO Council from 1985 to 1987, a period extremely important for the organization. During this time Kurt Hunger together with Lo Woltjer as Director General became the driving forces in the promotion of the VLT project in the member countries. Their success provided the basis for the development of ESO into the next century as one of the most powerful observatories in the world and a focal point of astronomical research in Europe.
