The Humanist Regional Association Halle-Saalkreis mourns the death of Prof. Dr. Werner Lange, who passed away on Thursday before last at the age of 81. With his passing, we have lost a committed, always helpful and prudent person and a good friend. He rendered outstanding services as a founding member of the association in Halle and in the consultations on living wills. As Chairman of the Board for many years, he was an active campaigner for the association and humanism in numerous discussions and encounters that we will never forget. We also remember him by continuing his work. Swen Knöchel, Chairman of the Board Ivonne Lischke, Managing Director On behalf of all employees

Humanistische Gemeinschaft Hessen becomes “Humanistischer Verband Deutschlands | Hessen”
On March 8, 2026, the state members’ meeting of the Humanistische Gemeinschaft Hessen decided to rename the state association. In future, the association will bear the name “Humanistischer Verband Deutschlands | Hessen” and thus adopt the common word and figurative mark of the Humanist Association of Germany.
