Ulrike ‘Uli’ Berger, the wife of our honorary member Florian Berger, passed away unexpectedly for all of us on 14 December 2024. The Berger couple not only ran their examination office for various Old German areas very successfully for decades, but also supported the BPP for many years in the training and examination of young examiners. The term ‘Limburg’ was coined for the obligatory preliminary examinations of new applicants because these examinations were held every year for a whole weekend at the Berger family’s premises near Limburg. Uli Berger was a great hostess who made it easier for the often excited candidates to face the exam with coffee, tea and cake. Everyone involved will have fond memories of the delicious home-cooked lunch.
We are very grateful to Uli Berger for her support of the BPP. Florian Berger has always emphasised that he could not have achieved his life’s work without the help of his wife. We wish him all the very best and will always remember his wonderful wife fondly.
