Prof. Dr. Godfried Landwehr took some time on one occasion at my request to visit me in the Low Temperature Physics Laboratory at the Experimental Physics 3 Department at the Institute of Physics, University of Wuerzburg, to take a look at a signal that I was recording from a GaAsAlGaAs 2D-sample.
"These show typical localisation effects", he said.
I felt highly honoured. He asked me from time to time how things were. I gave him the nickname: "Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics". There was scarcely any colloquia, seminar or conference proceeding at the Institute or outside which he attended, in which he did not make a contribution to the scientific subject matter or the historical development of the subject.
The Physics world has lost a giant who made significant contributions to the development of modern condensed matter physics. It is relevant that physics students all over the world remember him as being that teacher whose student won the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the Quantum Hall Effect.
Requiescat in Pace, Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics, Prof. Dr. Godfried Landwehr!

I met Gottfried Landwehr at MIT in 1966. He used to come to do experiments there at high magnetic fields. Then we participated together in a Summer School on high magnetic fields in 1967 in Chania, Crete. I remember claiming that what Gottfried just said at the blackboard was not exactly true. After the lecture I was informed by one of the German PhD students: "One does not contradict a German professor in public." When Gottfied began to organize his series of conferences on high magnetic fields, I thought he would never invite me there. To my surprise, Gottfried invited my to all of them and Wuerzburg has become an important part of our scientific life. I remember visiting Gottfried in Grenoble and, of course, in Wuerzburg. The last conference I remember in Wuerzburg was the one on Nobel Prize Physics attended by Leo Esaki, Klaus von Klitzing and Bob Laughlin. The conference took place in The Residence of Wuerzburg bishops, which was an experience by itself. We will never forget the wine testing parties in the local winery, where at the end everybody was happily drunk. It's the rare people like Gottfried who have made us feel like members of one big family and taught us that physics is more than experiments and formulas. His disappearance makes me sad beyond words.

Mit großer Bestürzung und Trauer haben wir vom Tod Gottfried Landwehrs erfahren. Wir haben uns 1964 in der PTB kennen gelernt. Ich war sein zweiter Doktorand - inzwischen bin ich wohl sein ältester noch lebender Doktorand. Gottfried Landwehr hatte ein einmaliges Gespür dafür, wo sich in der Forschung ein neues erfolgversprechendes Feld auftuen könnte. Er war sofort dabei, insbesondere dann, wenn die Experimente in hohen Magnetfeldern durchgeführt werden sollten. Aus dem Lehrer Professor Landwehr, der mich in die Halbleiterei einführte, wurde Gottfried, der Freund. Dafür bin ich ihm dankbar. Unsere Familien sind bis heute freundschaftlich verbunden.
Unser Mitgefühl gilt seiner Frau Angela und der Familie.

I feel deep sorrow at the sudden demise of Professor Gottfried Landwehr. Since I met him for the first time at Pont-a-Mousson in 1971 for the conference on tellurium, I owe a lot to him, as he has always inspired and fostered me for so many years through valuable discussion and warm encouragement. A conference series on semiconductor physics in high magnetic fields which he initiated and regularly organized at Wuerzburg has been wonderful opportunities for us, younger generation in the international community of this field to have stimulative discussion on the latest situation. My wife and I are very grateful to Professor and Mrs. Landwehr for the kind and generous friendship for many years. We will miss Professor Gottfried Landwehr in the years to come.
Former Chinese VW Scholars

As former Chinese graduate students who were supported by the VW scholarship program initiated and guided by Prof. Landwehr in the 1990s, we would like to express our deep condolences to his family and colleagues. Prof. Landwehr's vision and inspiration, selflessness and kindness, friendship and mentorship will stay in our memory and continually illuminate our career and life.
