Revocation of the honorary membership of Prof. Dr. Othenio Abel

In 1942, Prof. Dr. Othenio Abel became an honorary member of the Paläontologische Gesellschaft. On March 12, 2024, the managing and advisory boards revoked Abel's honorary membership. This decision was made after careful consideration and consultation. Our society is committed to respect, tolerance, and diversity as core values of our community. Othenio Abel's beliefs and values are in direct contradiction to these core principles.
