Professor Gisbert Krekeler: 1941 – 2007

Nije lako kada vam stigne obavijest da je umro vaš dragi prijatelj, kolega, veliki znalac u području dentalne implantologije i to čujete na skupu implantologa u Salzburgu. To se dogodilo u prosincu baš nama iz Zagreba, a prof. dr. Krekeler bio je gost-profesor našeg fakulteta od godine 1997. No, bio je i više od toga - bio je prijatelj koji je svakoga rado pozvao na Sveučilišnu kliniku za stomatologiju i Stomatološki fakultet Albert Ludwig u Freiburgu, gdje je djelovao od godine 1966. sve do posljednjega dana - 29. studenoga 2007.It was with heavy hearts that we learned of our dear friend’s demise. He was our colleague, he possessed great knowledge in the field of dental implantology, and his passing away actually occurred en route to an implantology course in Salzburg last December. This happened to us, from Zagreb. Professor Krekeler had been our Dental school’s guest since 1997, but he was much more than that…he was a friend who gladly hosted everyone at the Albert Ludwig University Dental Clinic in Freiburg, where he had worked since 1966 up until his last day November 29th, 2007
