Gravestone in the Dankes cemetery in Berlin-Reinickendorf

Gerhard Mudrack received his doctorate in 1970 on subjectively caused flight incidents in the business flight section of INTERFLUG  : her investigation and prevention at the Berlin Humboldt University as a Dr. rer. pole. On January 1, 1968, he was appointed head of the State Aviation Inspectorate (SLI) of the GDR. After the air disaster in Luanda , in which an Ilyushin Il-18 of the Interflug had an accident, he made serious allegations against the Interflug general director Henkes for violating the rules for compliance with flight safety and disregarding the supervisory authority. Mudrack was then replaced as head of the SLI on August 31, 1980, appointed professor and “praised” to the newly created chair for flight safety at the Humboldt University in Berlin . Successor Mudracks as head of SLI was a former Theodor Dadsitz fighter pilot of the NVA , from the Henkes obviously expected less criticism.

His grave is in the Dankes cemetery in Berlin-Reinickendorf .
