It is with deep sorrow and gratitude that we say goodbye to our longtime employee and deeply valued colleague

Claudia Kaschka

* Oct. 30, 1963 – † Sept. 26, 2026

Claudia Kaschka had been working as a secretary at DICE since 2010, making her part of the founding team that helped build DICE over the years. With her tireless dedication and strong sense of duty, she was a pillar of our institute. Above all, however, we will always remember her warm and friendly nature, her tremendous willingness to help, her sense of duty, and her openness. Her sudden and far too early death has shocked us all. Claudia Kaschka leaves a deep void, and her death has deeply affected us all.

With Claudia Kaschka’s passing, we have lost not only a highly valued colleague but also a wonderful person whom we will miss dearly. Our deepest sympathies go out to her family and all her loved ones.

We will always honor her memory.
