I just read the sad news and felt the urge to come here. Rest in peace, Mr. Brandstätter. If one's aim in life should be to leave the earth a better place than you found it, Horst Brandstätter was certainly a human to succeed with this challenge.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

A great loss to the world, but he leaves a great legacy.

Very sad news  :( 
It is good to know though that he made arrangements for the company to continue as he would have wished.

Very sorry to hear it, I hope he got to do in life all the things he had wished to do.

HOB will certainly be missed.
However, because he was a man of vision, he has left a great team behind to keep his Playmobil ship afloat.
Let us all wish Judith Weingart and Steffen Hoepfner our very best.
