The former Transsolar PR team, Monika Lauster and Bertram von Negelein, are bidding farewell as they enter their well‑deserved retirement.
After 34 years, Monika Lauster is leaving Transsolar as a colleague who has shaped the company from its very beginnings. Through clear communication and strong values she has played a decisive role in forming Transsolar’s attitude and culture.
Bertram joined Transsolar in 2006, initially working in IT, before taking on his later role as the man of precise words and becoming an important part of Transsolar’s communication work. With his exact language and deep technical understanding, he made the complex content of Transsolar’s projects accessible.
With Moni’s support, the Transsolar World Academy became possible. She shaped publications and exhibitions, made the content of more than 500 projects visible on the website, had a keen sense for illustrations as well as for our strategic decisions and partnerships – and much more. Above all, Moni has been a trusted confidant to colleagues from all areas for decades. She listened, mediated, brought people together, and in doing so made a lasting impact.
Alongside his work, many colleagues valued Bertram for his helpfulness, including the German courses he offered to international staff with humor and great commitment, thereby fostering both professional and personal exchange within the team.
We thank you both for your work – you will be missed.
