He is a founding and honorary member of the booster association Alumni Freiburg, was the founding president of the Alum- ni Freiburg Club in Korea, and has made important contributions to projects at the university – such as the Alumni Pa- vilion at the Departmental House on Schauinsland, the Uniseum, and the renovation of the Peterhof Cellar.
