Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU)

"We need even more courageous pioneers to master the challenges of the millennium"
Deutscher Umweltpreis awarded for the eleventh time - presented by Federal President Rau today

Osnabrueck, Germany (ots)

Europe's best-endowed environmental
award, the Deutscher Umweltpreis, worth EUR 500,000, was awarded for
the eleventh time today. Federal President Johannes Rau presented it
to the Head of the Biomechanics Department at the Forschungszentrum
Karlsruhe, Professor Dr. Claus Mattheck (55), and to the Founder and
Manager of HJS Fahrzeugtechnik, Hermann Josef Schulte (56, Menden).
He underlined, that environmental protection had to remain a
permanent topic also on the political agenda: "We believed too long
that there is a contrast between ecology and economy, but
environmental protection creates jobs and does not destroy them."
With the award, the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (DBU) appreciates
the pioneering achievement of Professor Mattheck, who nationally and
internationally translated the language of nature into technical
products and committed himself to the  tree protection. The
entrepreneur Schulte is awarded for the research and development of
non-polluting exhaust technologies in vehicle construction,
specifically for the development of a particle filter for diesel
engines.
