[Translate to English:]

After Mr. Fritz opened the meeting of the working group for the first time in 2005, he resigned as head of the working group with the meeting of the members at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences on August 31, 2022. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Farzad Foadian, University of Applied Sciences Dortmund, will take over the interim leadership of the working group "Tubes and Profiles" until a successor for Mr. Fritz is appointed.

The DGM would like to thank Mr. Fritz for his great personal commitment to the work and direction of the working group for almost two decades.
