> > "creative and technical freedom" they required. His humanity also shone 
> > through when - considering the significant workload involved in running an 
> > expanding company - he took time to share his knowledge with students, 
> > inspiring them with an enthusiasm for audio technology. In 1982 he retired 
> > from the management of the company, handing over to his son, Prof. Dr. sc. 
> > techn. Jörg Sennheiser.

> > Fritz Sennheiser continued to take a vivid interest in the company he

> > self-discipline, sincerity and generosity in his dealings with people, 
> > will remain an example to follow for all those who knew him.
> >
> > The history of the European audio industry will forever remain 
> > inextricably linked with the name of Fritz Sennheiser. For a complete
