Special Recognition for Volker Lindner<\/h3>\n\n
The unequivocal highlight of the meeting<\/strong> was agenda item 10: the bestowal of an honorary membership<\/strong>. The honoree, Volker Lindner<\/strong>, former City Planning Officer and First Alderman, and founding chairman of h2-netzwerk-ruhr, was present. He was visibly moved by the many words of praise for his work as network chairman, expressed by both Chairman Dr. Kattenstein and Dorsten’s Mayor Tobias Stockhoff. <\/p>\n\n At Lindner’s initiative<\/strong>, in 2008, the four cities<\/strong> of Herten, Marl, Bottrop, and Gladbeck, along with the economic development agencies of the Emscher-Lippe region and Business Metropole Ruhr, and Emschergenossenschaft, joined forces to form h2-netzwerk-ruhr e.V.<\/strong> Volker Lindner had held the view that the medium-sized city of Herten alone could not develop the necessary influence to become a recognized and serious interlocutor in the field of hydrogen technology at the state level. <\/p>\n\n Subsequently, not only more municipalities but also companies and scientific institutions joined the network, which today, with 89 members, is the largest hydrogen network in the Ruhr area<\/strong>. And it is considered Volker Lindner’s achievement<\/strong> that h2-netzwerk-ruhr e.V. is a recognized actor as an interlocutor nationwide and even at the federal level. <\/p>\n\n A major accomplishment of Lindner’s<\/strong> highlighted was his success in handing over the association into good hands<\/strong> and structuring it organizationally in such a way that it is not only viable but also dynamically developing<\/strong>. With Dr. D\u00e9sir\u00e9e Schulte as Managing Director and Dr. Thomas Kattenstein as Chairman, the network’s operational capacity is secured long-term<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n As always, the meeting concluded with an intensive get-together over a delicious snack \u2013 networking “at its best.”<\/p>\n\n h2-netzwerk-ruhr General Assembly Meets in Dorsten The annual General Assembly of h2-netzwerk-ruhr e.V. was chaired for the first time by the new Chairman Dr. Thomas Kattenstein on June 4, 2024. He skillfully guided the proceedings and secured a unanimous vote on all agenda items requiring a resolution.
