The Teaching Award 2023 went to Prof. Thomas Hettwer from the Institute for School Music at the HfMT.

In addition Senator for Science Katharina Fegebank"Teachers who inspire enthusiasm for their subject with innovative approaches, convey content in an understandable and varied way and thus spark a high level of motivation in their students are a huge asset. First and foremost for students, but also for their university and Hamburg as an academic location as a whole. Under the special conditions of the coronavirus pandemic, the students once again emphasized how important it was to them that lecturers responded individually to different levels of knowledge, and how valuable the more informal exchanges with teaching staff through various communication channels were. The award winners from the six universities stand for excellent teaching, which forms a valuable basis for research and progress in many areas of society. I would like to thank all the award winners for their outstanding commitment and congratulate them on this well-deserved honor!"

The award is presented annually to lecturers at the six state universities in Hamburg and is endowed with 10,000 euros each. Hamburg students have the right to nominate candidates for the teaching award. The award was presented by State Councillor Alexander von Vogel on Friday, July 7, 2023, at a joint Senate reception in City Hall for the classes still affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
