Ursula Hänle Fund

The interest from this annex should be " paid annually to a voluntary DAeC class III auditor who can look back on twenty-five years of auditing activity in the year in question". Due to the development of interest rates, this was not possible in 2014, so that the Ursula Hänle Fund was founded in order to meet Ursula Hänle's wishes as best as possible . The purpose of the fund is, on the one hand, to honor at least one class III examiner annually in the "new federal states" with a cash price of at least € 1,100, and on the other hand to train volunteer sailplane technicians and inspectors from the DAeC member associations of the " To support the new federal states financially.
