Steinmühle mourns the loss of Günter Eschenbrenner (Jan. 21, 1956 – June 2, 2026).

From 1988 until his retirement in 2022, Günter Eschenbrenner taught Latin and Ethics at Steinmühle.

 

His goal was to give philosophy a prominent place within the Steinmühle. In both Latin and ethics classes, his dedication was particularly appreciated by those students who take pleasure in thinking through complex ideas in depth.

 

As part of the elective curriculum, Günter Eschenbrenner taught calligraphy courses with great success. The work of his students—which is characterized by its aesthetic appeal, precision, and overall harmony—still adorns some of the hallways in our school buildings today.

 

Günter Eschenbrenner’s sense of humor will also be remembered: Whether a sharp, dry remark was meant as a provocation to liven up the discussion or was pure irony, his conversation partners often only realized this when he broke into a reassuring smile.

 

Toward the end of his tenure, Günter Eschenbrenner suffered a severe stroke from which he was never able to fully recover. He passed away on Tuesday, June 2, 2026.

 

We would like to express our sincere thanks to him for his work and dedication.
